- High Court
The CAC became functus officio when it perfected and communicated its final decision to take no further action; there is no basis to infer a power to reopen that decision on the facts presented, the redetermination was unlawful and is set aside, and the CAC is prohibited from reopening the complaint; permanent suppression of identities and restriction of court file access were granted as justified limitations on open justice in the specific circumstances.
