§ 23-1-52-4. Court order for inspection and copying; costs; restrictions
Sec. 4. (a) If a corporation does not allow a shareholder who complies with section 2(a) of this chapter to inspect and copy any records required by that subsection to be available for inspection, the circuit or superior court of the county where the corporation's principal office (or, if none in Indiana, its registered office) is located may order inspection and copying of the records demanded at the corporation's expense upon application of the shareholder.
(b) If a corporation does not within a reasonable time allow a shareholder to inspect and copy any other record, the shareholder who complies with sections 2(b) and 2(c) of this chapter may apply to the circuit or superior court in the county where the corporation's principal office (or, if none in Indiana, its registered office) is located for an order to permit inspection and copying of the records demanded. The court shall dispose of an application under this subsection on an expedited basis.
(c) If the court orders inspection and copying of the records demanded, it shall also order the corporation to pay the shareholder's costs (including reasonable counsel fees) incurred to obtain the order unless the corporation proves that it refused inspection in good faith because it had a reasonable basis for doubt about the right of the shareholder to inspect the records demanded.
(d) If the court orders inspection and copying of the records demanded, it shall impose the restrictions provided by section 5 of this chapter on the use and distribution of the records by the demanding shareholder.
As added by P.L.149-1986, SEC.36.
