sec.221 Power to require production of documents
An inspector may require a person to produce or make available for inspection by the inspector (or some other person nominated by the inspector), at a reasonable time and place nominated by the inspector— a document issued to the person under this Act or a corresponding law; or a document required to be kept by the person under this Act or a corresponding law; or if the person is an authorised provider—a document kept by the authorised provider about the conduct of authorised games by the authorised provider; or if the person is an agent—a document kept by the agent about the conduct of authorised games by the authorised provider by whom the agent is appointed. The inspector may keep the document to copy it. If the inspector copies the document, or an entry in the document, the inspector may require the person responsible for keeping the document to certify the copy as a true copy of the document or entry. The inspector must return the document to the person as soon as practicable after copying it.
