The Applicants sought the appointment of a special advocate or security-cleared amicus curiae in relation to an upcoming motion by the Attorney General for the non-disclosure of information in a supplemental certified tribunal record.
The Applicants argued that inadvertent disclosure of information and resulting injunctive relief justified the appointment.
The Court found that the duty of fairness owed to the Applicants remained at the lower end of the spectrum and the circumstances did not justify a departure from a previous ruling denying a similar request.
The motion for the appointment was dismissed, and the Attorney General was ordered to specify the grounds for the different redactions.
