Companies Act 2014 section 810

Court may grant exemption from requirements of disclosure order

Section 810 deals with the court's power to exempt certain persons or interests from the requirements of a disclosure order, and the conditions that must be met before such an exemption can be granted.

• When making a disclosure order, the court may exempt specific persons, groups, or classes of persons from all or part of the order's requirements.
• Exemptions may also apply to particular interests, shares, or debentures, including specific groups or classes of these.
• An exemption may only be granted where the court considers it just and equitable to do so.
• The court must also be satisfied that the financial interest of the person who applied for the disclosure order will not be prejudiced by granting the exemption.
