Section 9. Inspection of books by order of Court.

(1) On an application by any party to a legal proceeding, the Court may order that such party be at liberty to inspect and take copies of any entries in a banker’s book for any of the purposes of such proceeding, or may order the bank to prepare and produce, within such period as may be specified in such order, the certified copies of all such entries, accompanied by a further certificate that no other entries are to be found in the books of the bank relevant to the matters in issue in such proceeding, and such further certificate shall be dated and signed or authenticated in the manner specified in sub-section (3) of section 3. (2) An order under this section or section 8 may be made either with or without summoning the bank and shall be served on the bank three clear days (exclusive of bank holidays) before the same is to be complied with, unless the Court otherwise directs. (3) The bank may, at any time before the expiry of the period provided for compliance of any order in sub-section (2), either offer to produce their books at the trial or give notice of their intention to show cause against such order and thereupon the same shall not be enforced without being heard before making any further order.
