  "text": "(1) Where in energy administration proceedings the energy administrator considers, in the case of a document forming part of the records of the proceedings, that—\n(a) it should be treated as confidential, or\n(b) it is of such a nature that its disclosure would be calculated to be injurious to the interests of the creditors or members of a protected energy company,\nhe may decline to allow it to be inspected by a person who would otherwise be entitled to inspect it.\n(2) Where under this Rule the energy administrator determines to refuse 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 fit to impose.\n(3) Nothing in this Rule entitles the energy administrator to decline to allow the inspection of any proof or proxy.",
