Clause 103

Every person required to give evidence before a court-martial may be summoned or ordered to attend in the prescribed manner.

Every person attending in pursuance of such summons or order as a witness before any court-martial shall, during his necessary attendance in or on such court, and in going to and returning from the same, have the same privilege from arrest as he would have if he were a witness before a superior court of civil jurisdiction.

For the purposes of this section and of section 104 the expression “a court-martial” shall be deemed to include an officer taking a written summary of evidence in accordance with rules of procedure made under this Act; and references to the president or members of a court-martial shall be construed as including references to such officer.
