Confidentiality issues
57A Confidentiality issues
(1) If a person wishes, in complying with a regulatory information instrument,
to give information to the AER in confidence, the person must, when the
information is given to the AER— (a) make a claim of confidentiality; and
(b) provide reasons in support of the claim, which must include— (i)
information about any detriment that might be caused to the person if the
information were to be disclosed by the AER; and
(ii) information— (A) that
is reasonably within the person’s knowledge and capacity to give; and
(B)
that may be relevant to the AER’s consideration under section 329 of whether
such detriment may be considered as outweighing the public benefit in
disclosing the information.
(2) A person may, in providing reasons in support
of a claim under subsection (1) in respect of information received from
another person (a
"third party" ), include information— (a) that is reasonably within the
person’s knowledge and capacity to give; and
(b) that— (i) is about any
detriment that might be caused to the third party if the information were to
be disclosed by the AER; and
(ii) may be relevant to the AER’s
consideration under section 329 of whether such detriment may be considered as
outweighing the public benefit in disclosing the information.
(3) A person
must, in acting under subsection (1) , specifically identify the information
in relation to which the claim is made.
(4) Information given to the AER in
compliance with a regulatory information instrument is not to be regarded as
being given to the AER in confidence (or to be confidential in any other
respect) unless it is subject to an express claim of confidentiality made in
accordance with this section.
(5) This section does not apply in relation to
a price information order.
