175: Requirements that Registrars disclose information

You could also call this:

"Courts must share some information, even if it's a secret"

Illustration for Senior Courts Act 2016

You need to know that if a law says a Registrar must tell a registration authority some information about court cases, this rule still applies. This is true even if the court has made a suppression order to keep some information secret. The court must specifically say that this rule does not apply for it to be different.

175Requirements that Registrars disclose information

  1. If any enactment requires a Registrar to notify a registration authority of certain information about any court proceedings, that requirement is not affected by any suppression order imposed by the court or by operation of law.

  2. Even if the enactment provides that the court may order otherwise in any case, the requirement is not affected by any suppression order imposed by the court unless the court specifically orders otherwise in that case.
