487L Consent
          (1) Before obtaining the consent of an occupier of premises for the
              purposes of paragraph 487D(2)(a), an authorised officer must
              inform the occupier that the occupier may refuse consent.
          (2) A consent has no effect unless the consent is voluntary.
          (3) A consent may be expressed to be limited to entry during a
              particular period. If so, the consent has effect for that period unless
              the consent is withdrawn before the end of that period.
          (4) A consent that is not limited as mentioned in subsection (3) has
              effect until the consent is withdrawn.
          (5) If an authorised officer has entered premises because of the consent
              of the occupier of the premises, the authorised officer, and any
              person assisting the authorised officer, must leave the premises if
              the consent ceases to have effect.
