Practice question
The accused receives reasonable notice of a properly ordered Section15 examination but refuses without justification to attend. The examination is conducted as at trial. Must the court abandon it solely because of that refusal?
- Yes, the accused can always veto it through nonattendance
- No; Section15 treats failure or refusal after notice as waiver for that examination
- No, and every other defense right is automatically lost forever
- The witness becomes immune from cross-examination rules
- The refusal automatically establishes guilt
