sec.105 Consent acknowledgement

If the consent is given, the inspector may ask the occupier to sign an acknowledgement of the consent. The acknowledgement must state— the purpose of the entry, including the powers to be exercised; and that the occupier has been given an explanation about the purpose of the entry, including the powers intended to be exercised; and that the occupier has been told— that the occupier is not required to consent; and that the consent may be given subject to conditions and may be withdrawn at any time; and that the occupier gives the inspector or another inspector consent to enter the place and exercise the powers; and the day and time the consent was given; and any conditions of the consent. If the occupier signs the acknowledgement, the inspector must immediately give a copy to the occupier. If— an issue arises in a proceeding about whether the occupier consented to the entry; and a signed acknowledgement complying with subsection (2) 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.
