The defendant's application to compel disclosure of Security Information was dismissed because the court lacked jurisdiction to reopen and vary the prior order made on 19 November 2020 under the heads relied upon, no exceptional circumstances justified review prior to sealing, no material change of circumstances was established, and there is no statutory or common law power to compel plaintiffs to provide passcodes or encryption keys.
