Section 194(1)

On an application made to it by the CMA or, in Scotland, the procurator fiscal, the appropriate body may issue a warrant if it is satisfied that there are reasonable grounds for believing— that there are on or accessible from any premises documents which the CMA has power under section 193 to require to be produced for the purposes of an investigation; and that— a person has failed to comply with a requirement under that section to produce the documents; it is not practicable to serve a notice under that section in relation to them; or the service of such a notice in relation to them might seriously prejudice the investigation.
