56  Removal of certain persons from proceedings
 (1) An inquiry officer may order that a person be removed from the place where the proceedings of the inquiry officer's inquiry are being held if the inquiry officer considers that the person has:
 (a) insulted the inquiry officer, or an IO assistant of the inquiry officer, during the proceedings; or
 (b) disturbed or interrupted the proceedings; or
 (c) engaged in conduct during the proceedings that would, if the inquiry officer or an IO assistant of the inquiry officer were a court of record, constitute a contempt of that court.
 (2) If the inquiry officer makes an order under subsection (1), the inquiry officer may authorise a person to take such reasonable action as is required to give effect to the order.
