If a person provides information to the Tribunal or Scheme Administrator in connection with the Tribunal’s or Scheme Administrator’s functions under this Part on the understanding that the information is confidential and will not be divulged, the Tribunal or Scheme Administrator is required to ensure that the information is not divulged by it to any person, except—

with the consent of the person who provided the information, or

in the case of information provided to the Tribunal (whether or not acting as Scheme Administrator), to the extent that the Tribunal is satisfied that the information is not confidential in nature, or

to a member or officer of the Tribunal or to an officer of the Scheme Administrator, as the case requires.

If the Tribunal or Scheme Administrator is satisfied that it is desirable to do so because of the confidential nature of any information provided to the Tribunal or Scheme Administrator in connection with its functions under this Part, it may give directions prohibiting or restricting the divulging of the information.

A person must not contravene a direction given under subsection (2).

A reference in this section to information includes information given at a meeting of the Tribunal and information contained in any documents given to the Tribunal or Scheme Administrator.
