446. If a candidate or party leader establishes before a judge that the absence, death, illness or misconduct of an official agent or any other reasonable cause prevents the preparation and filing of a return prescribed by section 433 or 436, the judge may make any order he deems necessary to enable the applicant to obtain all the information and documents necessary to prepare the return and statement and grant any extension of time as the circumstances may require.

Failure to comply with an order made under this section shall be punishable in the same manner as failure to appear to testify before the court.
