Sec. 33-949. Inspection of records by directors.
Sec. 33-949. Inspection of records by directors. (a) A director of a corporation
is entitled to inspect and copy the books, records and documents of the corporation at
any reasonable time to the extent reasonably related to the performance of the director's
duties as a director, including duties as a member of a committee, but not for any other
purpose or in any manner that would violate any duty to the corporation.
(b) The superior court for the judicial district where the corporation's principal
office or, if none in this state, its registered office is located may order inspection and
copying of the books, records and documents at the corporation's expense, upon application of a director who has been refused such inspection rights, unless the corporation
establishes that the director is not entitled to such inspection rights. The court shall
dispose of an application under this subsection on an expedited basis.
(c) If an order is issued, the court may include provisions protecting the corporation
from undue burden or expense, and prohibiting the director from using information
obtained upon exercise of the inspection rights in a manner that would violate a duty to
the corporation, and may also order the corporation to reimburse the director for the
director's costs, including reasonable counsel fees, incurred in connection with the application.
