CHAPTER 9Inspection of Documents and the Provision of Information

Confidentiality of documents—grounds for refusing inspection195

1

Where in postal administration proceedings the postal administrator considers that a document forming part of the records of those proceedings—

a

should be treated as confidential, or

b

is of such a nature that its disclosure would be prejudicial to the conduct of the proceedings or might reasonably be expected to lead to violence against any person,

the postal administrator may decline to allow it to be inspected by a person who would otherwise be entitled to inspect it.

2

Where under this rule the postal administrator determines to refuse inspection of a document, the person wishing to inspect it may apply to the court for that determination to be overruled and the court may either overrule it altogether or sustain it subject to such conditions (if any) as it thinks just.
