Clause 91
Production and inspection of books where offence suspected
(1)
If, on an application made to a judge of the High Court in chambers by the Registrar, there is shown to be reasonable cause to believe that any person has committed an offence in connection with trading or dealing in securities and that evidence of the commission of the offence is to be found in any books or papers of or under the control of a dealer an order may be made —
authorising the Registrar to inspect those books or papers or any of them and make copies thereof or take extracts therefrom for the purpose of investigating and obtaining evidence of the offence; or
requiring the dealer or such other person as is named in the order to produce those books or papers or any of them to a person named in the order at a place so named.
(2)
An order under this section shall not require books or papers to be produced at a place other than the place of business of the person named in the order unless the Court is satisfied that the books or papers are not required in the conduct of the business or that there are special reasons requiring the books or papers to be produced at some other place.
