The Fitness to Practice Committee for the purpose of an inquiry has the
powers, rights and privileges vested in the High Court of a High Court
Judge in respect of the enforcement of the attendance of witnesses and
their examination on oath or otherwise and the compelling of the
production of documents, and failure to comply renders a person liable
to prosecution for contempt.
Also, a witness before the Fitness to practice Committee is entitled to
the same immunities and privileges as is he or she where a witness
before the High Court.
