Article 12 Service of documents by Secretary
Subject to paragraph (2), the Secretary shall immediately send or deliver a copy of the notice of appeal and any reply, together with any amendments or statements, written representations or other documents or records received from one party, to the other party to the appeal:
Provided that if any such material is sent or delivered to the Secretary after the time prescribed by these Rules the Secretary shall—
send or deliver a copy of the material to the other party;
inform that other party that such action by the Secretary shall not prejudice the Tribunal’s determination on whether to extend the relevant time limit.
If any material referred to in paragraph (1) contains any matter that relates to intimate personal or financial circumstances, is commercially sensitive, consists of information communicated or obtained in confidence, or involves considerations of personal or national security and—
it appears to the Secretary that the material contains such matter; or
a party seeks to restrict its disclosure and informs the Secretary of that fact and of his reasons for seeking such a restriction,
the Secretary shall serve the copies as provided in this rule only in accordance with the directions of the Tribunal.
