You need to know that protected information is not secret anymore if it is shared in court. This can also happen if the information is shared under certain sections of the law, like section 36, section 37(3)(b)(i), or section 39(2)(b)(i), and the Director tells you in writing that it is no longer protected. The Director will only tell you that the information is no longer protected if the person who gave the information to the Serious Fraud Office agrees, in certain situations. You should be aware that the Director has rules to follow when sharing protected information. If the information is shared under section 37(3)(b)(i) or section 39(2)(b)(i), the Director needs the consent of the person who disclosed the information. This means the Director cannot share the information without permission. The law has rules about when protected information can be shared. The Director must follow these rules when deciding what information to share. You can find more information about these rules in the relevant sections of the law.
