The records are subject to inspection by all shareholders or members of the family trust company and the secretary or the secretary’s authorized representative during the normal business hours of the family trust company.

4. Orders issued by courts or administrative law judges for the production of confidential records or information shall provide for inspection in camera by the court or the administrative law judge. If the court or administrative law judge determines that the documents requested are relevant or would likely lead to the discovery of admissible evidence, the documents shall be subject to further orders by the court or the administrative law judge to protect the confidentiality thereof. An order directing the release of information shall be immediately reviewable, and a petition by the secretary for review of the order shall automatically stay any further proceedings in a trial court or administrative hearing until the disposition of the petition by the reviewing court.
