I cannot second guess what the courts will do. There are situations in which the regulator can ask for a case to be heardin camera. The fitness to practise committee can ask the court and we anticipate that the courts would adjudicate fairly on such a request, balancing, as they would, the public interest with the person's interest.

However, it is the regulator who would apply on the person's behalf and would ask the courts to do it in cameraif the person had a concern.
