Production to the ACAT of documents in relation to which a certificate has been issued

    (1)     In any proceedings before the ACAT under this Act in relation to a document in respect of which a certificate under section 37A is in force, the ACAT is entitled to require the production of the document in accordance with this section and not otherwise.

    (2)     Where, in considering a question referred to in section 62 (4) or (5) in relation to a document, the ACAT is not satisfied, by evidence on affidavit or otherwise, that reasonable grounds exist for the claim to which the question relates, the ACAT may require the document to be produced for inspection by the ACAT as constituted for the purposes of the proceeding.

    (3)     After an inspection of a document under this section, the ACAT shall return the document to the person by whom it was produced without permitting any person who is not a member of the ACAT as constituted for the purposes of the proceeding, or a member of the staff of the ACAT in the course of the performance of his or her duties as a member of that staff, to have access to the document or disclosing the contents of the document to any such person.
