sec.263 Power to require production of documents
An inspector may require a person to make available for inspection by an inspector, or produce to the inspector for inspection, at a reasonable time and place nominated by the inspector— a document issued to the person under this Act; or a document required to be kept by the person under this Act; or if the person is a general operator—a document kept by the operator about the conduct of approved wagering involving the operator. 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.
