Procedure where right to inspect records is denied

If any patient who has received treatment in any such hospital, after discharge from such hospital, has made written application to such hospital, hospital society or corporation for permission to examine his or her record as such patient in such hospital and has been refused permission to examine or copy the same, such patient may file a written motion addressed to any judge of the Superior Court, praying for a disclosure of the contents of such hospital record relating to such patient and for a production of the same before such judge. Upon such application being filed, the judge to whom the same has been presented shall cause reasonable notice to be given to such hospital, hospital society or corporation of the time when and place where such petition will be heard, and such judge, after due hearing and notice, may order the officer authorized to act in the capacity of manager of such hospital to produce before the court and deliver into the custody of the court the history, bedside notes, charts, pictures and plates of such patient for the purpose of being examined or copied by such patient or his or her physician, advanced practice registered nurse or authorized attorney. Each officer of any hospital having custody of the history, bedside notes, charts, pictures or plates of any patient therein, who refuses to produce such record before such court, pursuant to the provisions of this section, shall be fined not more than one hundred dollars or imprisoned not more than six months or both.
