Hindering, opposing, obstructing or unduly influencing anyone who is exercising a power or carrying out a duty under the Act is an offence (section 70), as is skipping a summoned attendance without sufficient cause, leaving early, refusing the oath or withholding items ordered (section 71), answering incompletely or giving evidence one knows or believes is false (section 72); to contravene or ignore a Tribunal or Competition Appeal Court order, interim or final (section 73(1), punishable by a fine of up to R500,000 or ten years' imprisonment); or to improperly influence or anticipate the Commission's or Tribunal's findings, commit what would be contempt of court, knowingly feed the Commission false information, defame the Tribunal or Appeal Court, disrupt a hearing, breach a search warrant, or search while falsely claiming authority (section 73(2)). Breach of a Tribunal or Appeal Court order also attracts an administrative penalty (section 59(1)(c)).
