Appeals, reviews, and other proceedings - General provisions relating to proceedings involving classified information

261: No disqualification by reason of security briefing

You could also call this:

“Security briefings don't disqualify judges or Tribunal members from hearing classified cases”

If you’re a judge or a member of the Tribunal, you can still hear cases that involve classified information even if you’ve had a general briefing about security matters from any agency. This means that getting a security briefing doesn’t stop you from being able to do your job in these cases. It’s okay for you to have this kind of information and still make decisions about cases with classified information.
