The [name withheld] v Street implied obligation restricting use of documents disclosed under compulsion does not apply where a tribunal orders inspection of strata company records to vindicate a proprietor's statutory right under s 43(1)(b) of the Strata Titles Act 1985 (WA). A proprietor's right to inspect under s 43(1)(b) is broad and unrestricted, serving the statutory purpose of oversight and accountability. Any discretion under s 90 must be exercised having regard to that broad right and cannot be used to nullify it without sufficient reason. The Tribunal's role under s 90 is not to oversee whether the entitlement to inspect is exercised 'within reasonable bounds' once it is satisfied the entitlement has been wrongfully denied.
