33. The arbitrators may, by a summons or order in writing signed by any one of them or by their secretary, to be served at the last usual place of residence of the person to whom it is addressed, command the attendance of witnesses residing in any part of Québec, or the production of any documents required by either of the parties, and may swear the said witnesses to testify truly respecting the matters on which they shall be interrogated.

Disobedience to such summons or order in writing, or neglect to attend or to produce such documents, shall subject the person in default to a fine of not less than $5 nor more than $25, unless the offender shows reasonable cause in justification thereof.

No person shall be compelled to produce any document that he could not be compelled to produce at a trial in the Superior Court or the Court of Québec, or to attend as a witness during more than three consecutive days.

Every witness shall be allowed, in addition to his reasonable travelling expenses, a sum of not more than $1 per day, in the discretion of the arbitrators; and such remuneration shall be paid by the party requiring his attendance.
