| - Description: | These Regulations amend the National Security Information (Criminal Proceedings) Regulations 2005 (the Principal Regulations), as a consequence of amendments to the National Security Information (Criminal Proceedings) Act 2004. The Principal Regulations currently only apply to federal criminal proceedings. The Regulations extend the application of the Principal Regulations to civil proceedings. In particular, the Regulations specify how and where information that requires protection under the Act must be accessed, prepared and otherwise handled in civil proceedings. |
