REASONS FOR ORDER AND ORDER
GILES A.S.P.
[1] The motion before me seeks a confidentiality order. The situation, if it is as implied, could result in irreparable harm to A.B.Z., if this file is not ordered to be confidential and if all documents presently in it or in future filed in it save for this order are not placed in sealed envelopes.
[2] Some of the evidence presented with the motion before me is not admissible because it is said to be the subject of a confidentiality order in an other file and apparently should not have been made public by filing copies of it in this file.
[3] In order to reduce the possible harm done by the apparent breach of the confidentiality order in the other file I am going to order this file sealed for 6 weeks to enable the necessary steps to be taken to obtain a permanent confidentiality order in this file and will also order that in any event, the affidavit of Esther Fiallos sworn the 4th of August, 2000 and all exhibits thereto are to be taken from the file and returned to counsel.
ORDER
[4] The affidavit of Esther Fiallos sworn the 4th of August, 2000 and all exhibits thereto are to be returned to applicant's counsel. All copies of such affidavit are subject to this confidentiality order as well as to any other confidentiality order. This file is to be confidential until October 20th, 2000. All documents presently filed in it and all documents in future filed in it until such date shall be placed in sealed envelopes which indicate the generic nature of the content and the existence of this order.
[5] The motion for confidentiality filed August 9th, 2000 is dismissed with leave to re-apply in writing by September 20th, 2000.
[6] The respondent shall have until October 2nd, 2000 to file a respondent's record. There should then be 4 days thereafter for serving and filing of a reply.
