Regulation 9 Restrictions on disclosure
At the request of the applicant (but not otherwise), the court may order that some or all of the information in any submission (either written or oral) made to the court in connection with any application under these Regulations, or an appeal against a decision made under these Regulations, is not to be disclosed, without the permission of the court, to any person other than—
the applicant; or
a person (if any) who is specified, or of a description specified, in the order.
An order made under paragraph (1) may be expressed to continue for such period as the court sees fit, including—
until the determination of any appeal against a decision made under these Regulations; or
indefinitely.
The court may not impose restrictions on the disclosure of information under paragraph (1) unless satisfied that it is necessary to do so in the public interest.
An application for an order under this regulation may be determined in advance of, or at the same time as, an application or appeal mentioned in paragraph (1).
No information mentioned in paragraph (1) may be disclosed to any person until the application for an order under this regulation is disposed of.
A breach of paragraph (5) is a contempt of court.
Where an application under this regulation is not granted by the court—
the court must give the applicant an opportunity to withdraw any related DDTRO application; and
if the applicant withdraws the DDTRO application, the court must return any form submitted to the court in relation to the DDTRO application, and any documents submitted in connection with that application, to the applicant.
