2.29 Documents on a Court file—removal, redaction and storage
A document on a Court file will be removed from the Court file and replaced with a redacted copy if:
the Court has ordered that the document be removed and replaced:
on its own initiative; or
on the application of a party under rule 6.01 or subrule 16.21(2); or
for an affidavit—the Court has ordered that the affidavit be removed and replaced with a redacted copy:
on its own initiative; or
on the application of a party under subrule 29.03(2); or
the Court is satisfied that:
any part of the document is otherwise an abuse of process of the Court; and
it is reasonably practicable for that part of the document to be redacted.
A party may apply to the Court for an order under paragraph (1)(c) that a document be removed from the Court file and replaced with a redacted copy.
If a part or parts of a document are struck out or removed under this rule:
the corresponding part or parts of the redacted copy of the document must be unable to be read in any way; and
the redacted copy must be marked with:
the date on which the order was made; and
each date on which redaction was performed.
A document removed from a Court file under this rule must be stored:
if an order mentioned in this rule specifies a way to store the document—in the way specified in the order; or
otherwise—as directed by the District Registrar.
