SPECIAL RULES ON THE EFFECT OF IMPOSING DISCLOSURE REQUIREMENTS

6.1 This section concerns the circumstances in which a notice can be complied with only by the disclosure of a key, in other words:

  • requiring disclosure of the means to access protected information, or
  • requiring disclosure of the means to put protected information into an intelligible form.

6.2 No section 49 notice shall require the disclosure of a key unless the person granting permission for the notice to be given has directed that the disclosure requirement can only be complied with by disclosure of a key, or the person giving such a notice has appropriate permission to do so or has express permission for giving such a direction.
