55 Inspection of records

(1) A person who is a grower, or a representative of a grower, may request an agent to provide for inspection of records of the agent that relate to the sale of the grower’s produce under an agreement. (2) The records that the person, or the representative, may inspect are those records that relate to a period of up to 12 months preceding the date of the request. (3) The request must specify the period that the request relates to. (4) If requested under subclause (1), the agent must make available for inspection all of the requested records, other than the names and contact details of the persons to whom the grower’s produce was sold. (5) However, the agent is not required to make records available to the representative for inspection if: (a) the representative has not been appointed, in writing, by the grower as the grower’s representative for the purposes of inspecting the records; or (b) inspection of the records by the representative would result in the representative having an actual or potential conflict of interest.
