Title 14, Chapter 2, Section 1604
( 14-2-1604)
(a) If a corporation does not allow a shareholder who complies with subsection (b) of Code Section 14-2-1602 to inspect and copy any records required by that subsection to be available for inspection, the superior court of the county where the corporation's registered office is located may summarily 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 subsections (c) and (d) of Code Section 14-2-1602 may apply to the superior court in the county where the corporation's 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 attorneys' 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 may impose reasonable restrictions on the use or
distribution of the records by the demanding shareholder. |
