(2) The court may, on such application, order that some or all of the specified part of the statement shall not be sent to the registrar or to creditors or members of the company as otherwise required by paragraph 50(4).

The application shall be supported by written evidence in the form of an affidavit.
(6) The applicant shall give the postal administrator notice of the application at least 3 business days before the hearing.
