Checklist
- A current director's request under this section does not, on the text opened, extend to financial records. The note points to section 290, which was not opened.
- A former director's right includes financial records and continues for 7 years after the person ceased to be a director.
- The purpose must be a legal proceeding of a kind subsection (1) or (2) describes. The lawyer decides that purpose. Copies are for the purposes of those proceedings.

These are suggested working checks. Confirm the required checking with the responsible lawyer before work starts; the checking approach does not establish permission to use AI.
