Rule 101 Requests for confidential treatment
A request for the confidential treatment of any document or part of a document provided in the course of proceedings before the Tribunal shall—
be made in writing indicating the relevant words, figures or passages for which confidentiality is claimed; and
be supported in each case by specific reasons,
and, if so directed by the Registrar, the person making the request shall supply a non-confidential version of the relevant document.
In the event of a dispute as to whether confidential treatment should be accorded, the Tribunal shall decide the matter after hearing the parties and having regard to the need to exclude information of the kind referred to in paragraph 1(2) of Schedule 4 to the 2002 Act.
The Tribunal may direct that documents, or parts of a document, containing confidential information are disclosed within a confidentiality ring.
