95 Consent to entry (1) When seeking the consent of an occupier to enter a place of inspection under this division, an inspector must— (a) produce their identity card; and (b) tell the occupier— (i) the purpose of the entry; and

(ii) that anything found and seized may be used in evidence in court; and (iii) that consent may be refused. (2) If the occupier consents, the inspector must ask the occupier to sign a written acknowledgment— (a) that the occupier was told— (i) the purpose of the entry; and (ii) that anything found and seized under this division may be used in evidence in court; and (iii) that consent may be refused; and (b) that the occupier consented to the entry; and (c) the time, and date, when consent was given. (3) If the occupier signs an acknowledgment of consent, the inspector must immediately give a copy to the occupier. (4) Unless the contrary is proven, a court must presume that an occupier of the place of inspection did not consent to an entry to the place by an inspector under this division if— (a) the question whether the occupier consented to the entry arises in proceedings in the court; and (b) an acknowledgment under this section is not produced in evidence for the entry or exercise of power; and (c) it is not proved that the occupier consented to the entry.
