Section 36

Subject to this Act, a person summoned to attend or when appearing before the Commission as a witness, or producing a document or other thing to the Commission has the same protection as a witness in any proceedings in the Court.

No criminal or civil liability apart from this Act attaches to a person for compliance, or purported compliance in good faith, with any requirement made under this Act; in particular, if a person gives any record of examination or a written statement on oath or affirmation or produces any document or other thing under this Act, no civil liability attaches to the person for doing so, whether that liability would arise under a contract or otherwise.

No evidence, document or findings of the Commission under this Act shall be admissible in any civil or criminal proceedings whatsoever against the person who gave the evidence if the person objects to giving any record of examination or a written statement on oath or affirmation or produces any document or other thing.
