(1) For the purpose of enabling the Director or an authorized
person to conduct an inspection to determine if there is compliance
with this Act and the regulations, the Director may apply to the
Court of King's Bench for an order
(a) compelling a landlord or an employee or agent of a landlord
to allow the Director or an authorized person to enter the
business premises, private dwelling or other place occupied
or controlled by the landlord, employee or agent and
requiring the landlord, employee or agent to produce for
examination books, records, documents or other things
relevant to the inspection;
(b) authorizing the Director or authorized person to copy or
remove the books, records, documents or other things on
any terms that the Court considers appropriate;
(c) requiring a landlord or an employee or agent of a landlord to
co-operate with the inspection on any terms that the Court
considers appropriate.
(2) The Court of King's Bench may grant an order under
subsection (1) if satisfied on evidence under oath by the Director
that there are reasonable grounds to believe that

(a) the inspection is reasonable,
(b) the landlord, agent or employee of the landlord has not co-
operated or likely will not co-operate with the inspection,
and
(c) the order is appropriate in the circumstances.
(3) An application under this section may be made ex parte if the
Court of King's Bench considers it proper to do so.
