#### 93 Orders for the execution of warrants
(1) The Supreme Court of the place of issue of a warrant (not being a warrant mentioned in paragraph 92(1)(a)) may, on application, make an order authorising the apprehension of the person named in the warrant.
(2) If the warrant was issued:
(a) for the purpose of bringing the person before the tribunal to give evidence, or to produce a document or thing; and
(b) in connection with the performance of an adjudicative function by the tribunal;
the court may make an order only if it is satisfied that the giving of the evidence likely to be given by the person, or the production of a document or thing specified in the warrant, is necessary in the interests of justice.
(3) If the warrant was issued:
(a) for the purpose of bringing the person before the tribunal to give evidence, or to produce a document or thing; and
(b) in connection with the performance of an investigative function of the tribunal;
the court may make an order only if it is satisfied that:
(c) the evidence likely to be given by the person, or a document or thing specified in the warrant, is relevant to the performance by the tribunal of the investigative function; and
(d) if the evidence, document or thing may constitute or contain evidence that relates to matters of state—it is in the public interest that the evidence be given or the document or thing be produced.
(4) An order may be subject to specified conditions.
(5) The application of Division 1 to the warrant is subject to the conditions (if any) to which the order is subject.
(6) The requirement under section 83 to produce the warrant or a copy of the warrant (as that section applies in relation to the warrant because of this Division) includes a requirement to produce a copy of the order.
