The CCPC said it could not comment on the specifics of the court cases on the basis that the “process relates to an ongoing investigation”.

Under the relevant section of the legislation, “disclosure of information may be compelled, or possession of it taken even if the information is privileged legal material” as long as “the confidentiality of the information can be maintained pending the determination by the High Court of the issue as to whether the information is privileged legal material”.
