(a) If a corporation does not allow a shareholder who complies with § 4-27-1602(a) to inspect and copy any records required by that subsection to be available for inspection, the circuit court of the county where the corporation's principal office is located or the Pulaski County Circuit Court, if the corporation does not have a principal office in this state, may summarily order inspection and copying of the records demanded at the corporation's expense upon application of the shareholder.
(b) If a corporation does not within a reasonable time allow a shareholder to inspect and copy any other record, the shareholder who complies with § 4-27-1602(b) and (c) may apply to the circuit court in the county where the corporation's principal office is located or the Pulaski County Circuit Court, if the corporation does not have a principal office in this state, for an order to permit inspection and copying of the records demanded. The court shall dispose of an application under this subsection on an expedited basis.
(c) If the court orders inspection and copying of the records demanded, it shall also order the corporation to pay the shareholder's costs (including reasonable counsel fees) incurred to obtain the order unless the corporation proves that it refused inspection in good faith because it had a reasonable basis for doubt about the right of the shareholder to inspect the records demanded.
(d) If the court orders inspection and copying of the records demanded, it may impose reasonable restrictions on the use or distribution of the records by the demanding shareholder.
