Section 38
Disposition versions
Not in force
38. Any person authorized by the Minister to act as an inspector may enter any building or place where films intended for public exhibition are kept in order to examine them and ascertain whether visas have been issued for them by the director in accordance with this act.
The inspector may obtain a search warrant in accordance with the Summary Convictions Act and seize any film for which a visa has not been issued by the director in accordance with this act or which has been put to a use inconsistent with the requirements of this act.
The justice of the peace shall order the film returned to its owner once it has served the purposes for which it was seized; he may, however, order the destruction of any copies made to the detriment of the owner’s rights.
