6. (1) The procedure to be followed by the Court on the hearing of the proceedings shall as far as possible be the same as that followed by the Court in criminal proceedings upon summary trial.

(2) The defendant may appear in person or be represented by counsel.

(3) No warrant of arrest shall be issued to compel the attendance of a defendant who fails to appear or to be represented; but the Court may, upon proof of service of the summons, hear the evidence produced by the council and make such order as it shall think fit.
