3(1)A disclosure order does not confer the right to require a person—

which the person would be entitled to refuse to answer, provide or produce on grounds of legal professional privilege in proceedings in the High Court.

(2)But a lawyer may be required to provide the name and address of a client.

(3)A disclosure order does not confer the right to require a person to produce excluded material.

(5)An appropriate officer may take copies of any documents produced in compliance with a requirement to produce them imposed under a disclosure order.

(6)The documents may be retained for so long as it is necessary to retain them (as opposed to a copy of them) in connection with the investigation for the purposes of which the order was made.
