Description
In this case we must decide whether superior courts of this State have the inherent power to order a banking corporation to disclose to the district attorney a customer's bank account records upon a finding that an examination of such records would be in the best interest of justice, and to order the bank not to disclose the examination for a specified period upon a proper finding that disclosure could impede the investigation and interfere with the enforcement of the law. We hold that a superior court judge has the inherent power to issue such an order, provided sufficient facts or circumstances are presented to show the reason that disclosure is in the best interest of justice. Because the petition in the instant case did not set forth such facts or circumstances, and because the record does not disclose any affidavit or other evidence from which the judge could properly make an independent determination that disclosure of the customer's records was in the interest of justice, the trial judge erred by issuing the order.
