Paragraph 7 Confidentiality

Subject to sub-paragraphs (2) and (3), any arbitration hearing and documentation must be open to and accessible by the public.

The Arbitrator may direct that the whole or part of a hearing is to be private and/or any documentation to be confidential where it is necessary in order to protect commercially sensitive information.

Nothing in this paragraph prevents any disclosure of a document by a party pursuant to an order of a court in England and Wales or where disclosure is required under any enactment.
