241  Occupier entitled to be present during search
 (1) If an occupier of *premises, or another person who apparently represents the occupier, is present at the premises while a *search warrant is being executed, the occupier or person has the right to observe the search being conducted.
 (2) However, the right ceases if:
 (a) the person impedes the search; or
 (b) the person is under arrest, and allowing the person to observe the search being conducted would interfere with the objectives of the search.
 (3) This section does not prevent 2 or more areas of the *premises being searched at the same time.
