- Court
- High Court
The court ordered disclosure of the unredacted settlement agreement to counsel for the defendants and the third party in the first instance, and disclosure of the settlement sum and payment date to counsel and nominated insurers, on the condition of written undertakings of confidentiality, because disclosure to counsel with undertakings protects commercial sensitivity while enabling defendants to assess relevance and pursue further disclosure by leave of the court.
