(2) If a person produces or makes available a document under a production order--

(a) the production or making available of the document, or

(b) any information, document or thing obtained as a direct or indirect consequence of the production or making available of the document,

is not admissible against the person in any criminal proceedings except proceedings for an offence against section 64.

(3) For the purposes of subsection (2), proceedings on an application for a restraining order, a forfeiture order, a pecuniary penalty order or a drug proceeds order or to confirm a freezing notice are not criminal proceedings.
