Powers of investigators
428 Powers of investigators
An investigator inquiring into the affairs of a co‑operative may, by giving an involved person a notice in a form approved by the Registrar, require the person —
to produce any document of which the person has custody or control and that relates to those affairs; or
to give the investigator all reasonable help with the inquiry; or
to appear before the investigator for examination on oath or affirmation.
An investigator may administer an oath or affirmation to an involved person given a notice under subsection (1).
An investigator may take possession of a document produced by an involved person under subsection (1) and may retain it for the period that the investigator decides is necessary for the inquiry.
While an investigator retains possession of a document, the investigator must permit a person who would be entitled to inspect the document were it not in the possession of the investigator to inspect the document at any reasonable time and make a copy of, or take extracts from, the document.
