REVISED MODEL BUSINESS CORPORATIONS ACT § 16.02. Some of the special provisions under the revised Act include: (1) ordinarily, a member must give the corporation written notice at least five business days before the date of inspection; (2) the right to inspect includes the right to make copies; (3) the corporation may charge a reasonable fee for the duplicating expenses; (4) for certain types of records, a member's request for inspection must be “in good faith and for a proper purpose,” and the member must describe with “reasonable particularity the purpose of the records the member desires to inspect,” and the records must be directly related to such purpose; and (5) a member's agent or attorney has the same inspection and copying rights as the member. In addition, the revised Act empowers the civil courts to order a corporation to grant a member's request for inspection.
