Making production orders
150 Making production orders
Subject to this section, a magistrate may, on the application of an authorised officer, make an order (a production order) requiring a person to—
produce one or more property-tracking documents; or
make one or more property-tracking documents available, to an authorised officer for inspection.
A magistrate must not make a production order unless the magistrate is satisfied by information on oath that the person is reasonably suspected of having possession or control of the documents.
To avoid doubt, an authorised officer applying for a production order need not give notice of the application to any person.
