               (b) the legal personal representative has in his or her possession
                    or control documents that:









                        (i) are or were connected with the giving, or anticipated
                            giving, of that immigration assistance to those clients;
                            and
                       (ii) relate to the affairs of those clients.
          (2) The Migration Agents Registration Authority may, by written
