(a)the debtor's current address must be omitted from—
(i)any part of the court file of the proceedings in relation to the debtor's IVA which is open to inspection,
(ii)the debtor's identification details required to be entered on the individual insolvency register under rule 11.14,
(iii)any notice or advertisement under rule 8.36 of an order under section 261 M1 to annul the bankruptcy order where an IVA is approved; and
