The plaintiff demonstrated good faith and a proper purpose under s740 by showing a sufficiently reasonable case for investigation (late and backdated AFS, admission of no AGMs, material anomalies in AFS) and offered undertaking on use; defendants failed to rebut or identify specific prejudice or particular ulterior motive. Accordingly the court ordered inspection and delivery of specified AFS, management documents and minutes and awarded costs to the plaintiff, with practical safeguards against misuse.
