# The Carbon Dioxide Transport and Storage (Licensed Operators) Administration (England and Wales) Rules 2025, Rule 177: Confidentiality of documents: grounds for refusing inspection


(1) Paragraph (2) applies where in T&S administration proceedings the T&S administrator considers that a document forming part of the records of those proceedings—
(a) should be treated as confidential, or
(b) is of such a nature that its disclosure would be prejudicial to the conduct of the proceedings or might reasonably be expected to lead to violence against any person.
(2) The T&S administrator may decline to allow the document to be inspected by a person who would otherwise be entitled to inspect it.
(3) Where under this rule the T&S administrator determines to decline to allow inspection of a document, the person wishing to inspect it may apply to the court for that determination to be overruled and the court may either overrule it altogether or sustain it subject to such conditions (if any) as it thinks just.
