Before asking for the consent, the inspection officer must tell the occupier— the purpose of the entry; and that the occupier is not required to consent. If the consent is given, the inspection officer may ask the occupier to sign an acknowledgement of the consent. The acknowledgement must state— the occupier has been told— the purpose of the entry; and that the occupier is not required to consent; and the purpose of the entry; and the occupier gives the inspection officer consent to enter the place and exercise powers under this part; and the time and date the consent was given. If the occupier signs the acknowledgement, the inspection officer must immediately give a copy to the occupier. If— an issue arises in a proceeding about whether the occupier consented to the entry; and an acknowledgement complying with subsection (4) for the entry is not produced in evidence; the onus of proof is on the person relying on the lawfulness of the entry to prove the occupier consented. s 152B ins 2003 No. 28 s 11 (sec.152B-ssec.1) This section applies if an inspection officer intends to ask an occupier of a place to consent to the inspection officer or another inspection officer entering the place.
