29. During an inquiry, the Commission may, on application and on such conditions as it may fix,

(a)  authorize a person whose name or activities are mentioned at a public hearing to testify or produce witnesses at the hearing to explain his conduct or report a fact that he believes will enlighten the Commission;

(b)  authorize a witness who believes himself aggrieved as a result of his testimony to testify again and to produce witnesses; or

(c)  authorize the examination of a witness by his advocate or the cross-examination of a witness by the advocate of a person whose name or activities have been mentioned by that witness or the latter’s advocate, if it considers that that examination or cross-examination better serves the purposes pursued by the inquiry.

An application is made in writing and it indicates the reasons why the authorization should be granted and, where such is the case, the names and pretensions of the witnesses the person intends to produce.

This application is heard publicly unless the applicant requests or the Commission orders that it be presented incamera. If the application is granted, the Commission may require that the evidence be received incamera to verify whether it is relevant or not. The Commission may thereafter, if it considers it necessary, authorize the presentation of the evidence at a public hearing.
