AI summary
The Supreme Court of Appeal dealt with an appeal about an Equality Court order directing the Financial Intelligence Centre to disclose certain confidential information. It held that the appeal should be upheld and set aside the Equality Court’s order, substituting an order dismissing the application with costs. The judgment also discussed mootness after the order had been abandoned and whether the appeal should still be heard in the interests of justice.
This may be relevant to disputes about disclosure of confidential information held by the Financial Intelligence Centre and the interpretation of the Financial Intelligence Centre Act.
