### sec.303A Inspector’s powers relating to the proper officer of a court
For conducting a review under section 294 (2) (f) of services provided by corrective services officers to the proper officer of a court, an inspector may—
with the consent or at the request of the proper officer—
enter an area in the court facilities not open to members of the public; and
interview any prisoner, staff member, or court officer present at the facilities; and
have access to a place in the facilities where the inspector may conduct an interview under subparagraph (ii) out of the hearing of other persons; and
inspect and copy a document kept at the facilities that is relevant to services provided by corrective services officers, other than a document to which legal professional privilege attaches; and
request the proper officer to give stated information relevant to the review.
The proper officer of a court is not under an obligation to give information requested by an inspector but, if the request is refused, the proper officer must give the inspector a written notice stating the reasons for the refusal.
