F2An information order does not confer the right to require a person to provide privileged information.

“Privileged information” is information which a person would be entitled to refuse to provide on grounds of legal professional privilege in proceedings in the High Court or, in Scotland, legal privilege as defined by section 412.

Information provided in pursuance of F3an information order is not to be taken to breach any restriction on the disclosure of information (however imposed).

An application for F4an information order may be heard and determined in private.

Rules of court may make provision as to the practice and procedure to be followed in connection with proceedings relating to F5... information orders.
