Section 243 - Warrant for witness after summons

Where a witness summoned to give evidence does not:

(a) attend court at the time and place indicated on the summons; and

(b) provide any reasonable excuse for his non-attendance,

then after proof that the summons was duly served on him, or that the person to be served wilfully avoids service, the court may issue a warrant to arrest and bring him before the court.
