§ 48:2-35.
If a person subpoenaed to attend before the board or a member thereof fails to obey
the command of the subpoena without reasonable cause, or if a person in attendance
before the board or a member thereof refuses without lawful cause to be examined or
to answer a legal or pertinent question, or to produce a book or paper, when ordered
so to do by the board or a member thereof, the board or the member may apply to the
Superior Court or any judge thereof, upon proof by affidavit of the facts, for an
order returnable in not less than 2 nor more than 10 days, directing such person to
show cause before the court or judge why he should not comply with the subpoena or
order of the board. Upon the return of the order the court or judge before whom the matter shall come
on for hearing shall examine under oath such person whose testimony may be relevant
and such person shall be given an opportunity to be heard, and if the court or judge
shall determine that such person refused without legal excuse to comply with the subpoena
or the order of the board, the court or judge may order such person to comply forthwith
with the subpoena or order. Any failure to obey the order of the court or judge may be punished by the court
or judge as a contempt of the Superior Court.
