be satisfied that:
(a) the summons was served on the person; or
(b) a reasonable attempt was made to serve the summons on the
person.
(3) The warrant authorises the person to whom it is addressed:

the President or Deputy President; and

President, a Deputy President or the Supreme Court.

person from being prosecuted for an offence under section 86.
