(705 ILCS 505/12) (from Ch. 37, par. 439.12)
Sec. 12.
The court or a commissioner may direct any claimant to appear,
upon reasonable
notice, before the court or one of its judges or commissioners
or before a notary
and be examined on oath or affirmation concerning any matter pertaining to
his claim. The examination shall be reduced to writing and be filed with
the clerk of the court and remain as a part of the evidence in the case. If
any claimant, after being so directed and notified, fails to appear or
refuses to testify or answer fully as to any material matter within his
knowledge, the court or commissioner may order that the case be not
heard or determined
until he has complied fully with the direction of the court.
