Sec. 7.

The arbitration panel may administer oaths and require the attendance of witnesses and the production of books, papers, contracts, agreements, and documents that it considers to be material to a just determination of the issues in dispute. For this purpose, the arbitration panel may issue subpoenas. If a person refuses to obey a subpoena, or to be sworn or to testify, or if a witness, party, or attorney is guilty of contempt while in attendance at a hearing, the arbitration panel may, or the attorney general if requested shall, invoke the aid of the circuit court within the jurisdiction in which the hearing is being held, which court shall issue an appropriate order. The court may punish a failure to obey the order as contempt.
