#### 73 Arrest of witness failing to attend inquiry
(1) Where a person who has been summoned under subsection 71(2) to attend before the Disciplinary Tribunal as a witness in an inquiry fails to attend as required by the summons, the member constituting the Tribunal may, upon being satisfied that the summons has been duly served and that reasonable expenses have been paid or tendered to the person, issue a warrant for the apprehension of the person.
(2) The warrant authorises any Federal police officer or member of the Police Force of a State or Territory to apprehend the person and bring the person before the Disciplinary Tribunal, and for that purpose, to detain that person in custody until the person is released by order of the Tribunal.
(3) The apprehension of a person under this section does not relieve the person from any liability incurred by him or her by reason of his or her failure to attend before the Disciplinary Tribunal.
