Power of court to require information from election agent or sub-agent.

50.(1) Where on an application to the county court under section forty-nine it
appears to that court that any person who is or has been an election agent or
sub-agent has refused or failed to make such return, or to supply such
particulars, as will enable the candidate and his election agent respectively
to comply with the provisions of this Act as to the return or declarations as
to election expenses, the court before making an order under the said section,
shall order that person to attend before the court.

(2) The court shall on the attendance of that person, unless he shows cause to
the contrary, order him to make the return and declaration, or to deliver a
statement of the particulars required to be contained in the return, as to the
court seems just, within such time, to such person and in such manner as the
court may direct, or may order him to be examined with respect to the
particulars.

(3) If a person fails to comply with any order of the court under this
section, the court may order him to pay a fine not exceeding five hundred
pounds.
