(2) If any person who is served with a notice as provided by subsection (1) fails to appear in person or by counsel, then, unless it appears that it was not reasonably possible for that person so to appear, the court may, if satisfied that the notice was duly served issue a warrant for the arrest of that person unless in the case of a compoundable offence, that person has within the period specified in the notice been permitted to compound the offence.

(3) The Ruler in Council may make rules for the purpose of prescribing the form of any notice to be issued in pursuance of this section, and generally to enable the provisions of this section to be carried into effect."
