Regulation 21 Withholding medical report from disclosure in exceptional circumstances

Original text. Later amendments are not shown.

(1)

This regulation applies where the respondent wishes the Tribunal, in determining the application, to consider a medical report and the President is satisfied—

(a)

that disclosure to the applicant of all or any part of the contents of the report would be so harmful to his health or welfare that it would be wrong to disclose it to him, and

(b)

that in all the circumstances it would not be unfair if the report or that part of it is considered by the Tribunal.

(2)

The President may direct that—

(a)

the report may be considered by the Tribunal, and

(b)

all or any part of its contents must not be disclosed to the applicant,

but such a direction shall not prevent the disclosure of any of the report’s contents to the applicant’s legal representative.
