Western Australian Consolidated Acts Western Australian Consolidated Acts (1) Subject to the
provisions of section 105A, the register of members commencing from the
date of the registration of the company, and the index of the names of the
members shall be kept at the registered office of the company, and, except
when closed under the provisions of this Act, shall (subject to such
reasonable restrictions as the company in general meeting may impose, so that
not less than 4 hours in each day be allowed for inspection) be open for
at least 4 hours, between the hours of 8 a.m. and 10 p.m., each day for
at least 2 days each week, to the inspection of any member gratis, and to
the inspection of any other person on payment of 10 cents or such less
sum as the directors may fix for each inspection:
Provided that, where a
company has restricted the hours during which the register of members is open
for inspection for any period less than the hours when the registered office
of the company is open to the public, such restriction shall have no effect
until notice thereof has been filed with the Registrar.
(2) Any member or
other person may require a copy of the register or of any part thereof, or of
the annual return required by this Act or any part thereof, on payment of 5
cents or such less sum as the directors may fix for every 100 words or
fractional part thereof required to be copied. The company shall cause any
copy so required by any person to be despatched to that person within a period
of 14 days commencing on the day next after the day on which the
requirement is received by the company.
(3) If any inspection
required under this section is refused or if any copy required under this
section is not despatched within the proper period, the company, and every
officer of the company who is in default, shall be liable in respect of each
offence to a fine not exceeding $10, and further to a daily penalty not
exceeding $4 for every day during which the default continues.
(4) In the case of any
such refusal or default the Court may by order compel an immediate inspection
of the register and index, or direct that the copies required shall be sent to
the persons requiring them, and make any further order which to the Court
seems proper.
