35A Committee may refuse access to documents
(1) The committee of an incorporated association may refuse to give a
member of the association access to the following documents if
satisfied that allowing access to the document would be prejudicial to

(b) if the association’s rules allow a member access to other

restricted, including requiring the member to state the purpose for
requiring access to the document.
