Broad Premises Inspection Without Safeguards

The Registry can obtain court orders to enter business premises and inspect digital systems based on "reasonable suspicion of concealment or fraud"—a vague, low threshold that creates operational uncertainty. The provision provides no notice requirements, no limits on what digital systems can be inspected, and no appeal rights before warrant execution, allowing access to proprietary business information, financial records, and customer data far beyond domain registration matters. Combined with mandatory .gh registration (19), this subjects all legally registered entities to potential premises entry for infrastructure compliance violations, creating business disruption risk without the procedural protections standard in comparable jurisdictions.
