79.28.—(1) When the court gives judgment in any proceedings to which [F2Section 2 or 3 of] this Part applies, it may withhold all or some of its reasons if and to the extent that it is not possible to give reasons without disclosing information contrary to the public interest.
(2) Where the judgment of the court does not include the full reasons for its decision, the court will serve on [F3the appropriate Minister] and the special advocate a separate written judgment including those reasons.
(3) Where the court serves a separate written judgment under paragraph (2), the special advocate may apply to the court to amend that judgment and the judgment under paragraph (1) on the grounds that the separate written judgment under paragraph (2) contains material not in the judgment under paragraph (1) the disclosure of which would not be contrary to the public interest.
(4) The special advocate must serve a copy of the application under paragraph (3) on [F3the appropriate Minister].
(5) The court will give the special advocate and [F3the appropriate Minister] an opportunity to file written submissions and may determine the application with or without a hearing.]
