7. Bankrupt’s failure to attend examination
If the bankrupt does not appear for the examination at the appointed time
and has no reasonable excuse—
(a) an Intermediate Court Magistrate or the Court may, on the Official
Receiver’s application, by warrant, cause the bankrupt to be arrested
and brought up for examination by the Court; and
(b) the Court may order the bankrupt to pay all the expenses arising out
of the arrest and examination before the Court, if the Court thinks
that the bankrupt’s evidence was necessary for the purposes of the
bankrupt’s estate.
