28. (1) A Director may, on notice to an information source, apply to the District Court for an order under subsection (2) where it appears to the Director that the information source has failed or is failing to comply or fully comply with a notice under section 27 within the time period specified in the notice or, if applicable, within such further time period as has been agreed in writing under subsection (3) of that section.

(a) requiring the information source, within such time period as is specified in the order, to comply or fully comply, as the case may be, with the notice, or

(b) amending the information or documents specified in the notice and requiring the information source, within such time period as is specified in the order, to comply with the notice as so amended.

(3) In this section, “information source” has the same meaning as it has in section 27 .
