MINING INDUSTRY ACT 1920 - SECT 22

Power to hold inquiries.

22.(1) The Board of Trade may hold such inquiries as they consider necessary
or desirable for the purposes of this Act, and the Board of Trade and, if
authorised by the Board of Trade, the person appointed to hold any such
inquiry, may, by order, require any person, subject to the payment or tender
of the reasonable expenses of his attendance, to attend as a witness and give
evidence, or to produce any documents in his possession or power which relate
to any matter in question at the inquiry, and are such as would be subject to
production in a court of law, and, if any person fails without reasonable
excuse to comply with any of the provisions of any such order, he shall be
liable on summary conviction to a fine not exceeding five pounds, and the
person holding the inquiry shall have power to take evidence on oath and for
that purpose to administer oaths.

(2) Notices of inquiries may be given and published in accordance with such
general or special directions as the Board of Trade may give.

(3) The powers of the Board of Trade under this section shall be in addition
to and not in derogation of any powers of holding inquiries transferred to the
Board from any other Government department under this Act.
