Production of documents and provision of information for certain purposes.

57.(1) The registrar may at any time, by notice in writing served on a
registered society or on any person who is or has been an officer of such a
society, require that society or person to produce to the registrar such
books, accounts and other documents relating to the business of the society,
and to furnish to him such other information relating to that business, as the
registrar considers necessary for the exercise of any of the powers which he
has by virtue of section 15(1)(c)(ii), 15(4) or 65; and any such notice may
contain a requirement that any information to be furnished in accordance with
the notice shall be verified by a statutory declaration.

(2) Any society or other person failing to comply with the requirements of a
notice under subsection (1) shall be guilty of an offence and liable on
summary conviction to a fine not exceeding #50 or to imprisonment for a term
not exceeding three months or to both.

(3) The registrar may, if he considers it just, direct that all or any of the
expenses incurred by him in exercising his powers under subsection (1) in
relation to any society shall, either wholly or to such extent as he may
determine, be defrayed out of the funds of the society or by the officers or
former officers thereof or any of them; and any sum which any society or other
person is required by such a direction to pay shall be a debt due to the
registrar from that society or person.
