(2) A Commissioner, an adviser, or a person authorized by a Commissioner to act under this section may, for the purposes of this Act, take, and retain for so long as is necessary for those purposes, possession of a document produced pursuant to a summons under this Part, but the person otherwise entitled to possession of the document is entitled to be supplied, as soon as practicable, with a copy certified by the Commissioner or the authorized person to be a true copy and the certified copy shall be received in all courts as evidence as if it were the original.
