Section 487.0141 — Criminal Code: Production order — specified dates

On ex parte application made by a peace officer or public officer, a justice or judge may order a person to produce a document that is a copy of a document that is in their possession or control on any of the dates specified in the order or prepare and produce a document containing data that is in their possession or control on any of the dates specified in the order. Before making the order, the justice or judge must be satisfied by information on oath in Form 5.004 that there are reasonable grounds to believe that an offence has been or will be committed under this or any other Act of Parliament; and the document or data, if it is in the person’s possession or control on any of the dates to be specified in the order, will afford evidence respecting the commission of the offence. The order is to be in Form 5.0051. The order may specify up to 10 dates that fall within the 60-day period after the day on which it is made. The order may also require the person to produce to a peace officer or public officer named in the order a copy of all reports made under any of sections 7, 7.1 and 9 of the Proceeds of Crime (Money Laundering) and Terrorist Financing Act during the period the order is in effect if the justice or judge is satisfied by information on oath in Form 5.004 that there are reasonable grounds to believe that the information contained in such a report will afford evidence respecting the commission of the offence referred to in subsection (2). The person must not be required to produce documents more than once in any 72-hour period; produce a document that is a copy of a document that was in their possession or control before the day on which the order is made; or prepare and produce a document that contains data that was in their possession or control before the day on which the order is made. A person who is under investigation for the offence referred to in subsection (2) may not be made subject to an order. Unless the order is revoked earlier, it expires 60 days after the day on which it is made. A justice or judge may renew the order for a period of not more than 60 days on ex parte application made by a peace officer or public officer indicating the reason and period for which the renewal is required. Before renewing the order, the justice or judge must be satisfied by information on oath in Form 5.004 that the conditions specified in subsection (2) are met. If the order is renewed, it may specify up to 10 dates during the period for which it is renewed.
