(b)determining the amount of victims' payments payable to a person;

(4) On considering a claim under paragraph [F3(2A)], the panel may confirm, revoke or vary the notice.
(5) A person who is required by a notice under this regulation to provide records or documents must, if doing so would disclose information about another person which is irrelevant to the determination of the application under this Part and the disclosure of which would breach an obligation of confidence, provide the records or documents in a redacted form.
(6) A notice under this section has effect in spite of anything which would otherwise prohibit a person from complying with the notice.
(7) But a requirement of a notice does not have effect if—
(a)complying with the requirement would involve the disclosure of information which, although made in compliance with the requirement, would contravene the data protection legislation, or
