Tribunal
“Copyright Tribunal” or “Tribunal” means a Copyright Tribunal established under this Act;
A Tribunal may —
take evidence on oath and for that purpose administer an oath;
take evidence orally or in writing;
allow or appoint expert witnesses to assist the Tribunal; or
summon a person to appear before the Tribunal to —
give evidence; or
produce any document or thing that is in the possession, custody or control of the person.
A witness before a Tribunal has the same privileges and immunities, and is subject to the same civil and criminal liabilities (in addition to those under this Act), as if he or she were a witness before a District Court.
