194 Witnesses failing to attend proceedings Note 1 The NSW Act includes a provision about the consequences of a witness failing to appear when called in a civil or criminal proceeding.

There are provisions to the same effect in federal court rules and ACT legislation applying to proceedings before federal courts and ACT courts.
