165—Making monitoring orders
(1) A judge of the
District Court may, on the application of an authorised
officer, make an order (a "monitoring order") that a financial institution
provide information about transactions conducted during a specified period
(including a future period) through an account held by a specified person with
the institution.
(2) A judge must not
make a monitoring order unless satisfied that there are reasonable grounds for
suspecting that the person in respect of whose account the information is
sought—
(a) has
committed, or is about to commit, a serious offence; or
(b) was
involved in the commission, or is about to be involved in the commission, of a
serious offence; or
(c) has
benefited directly or indirectly, or is about to benefit directly or
indirectly, from the commission of a serious offence.
