Section 80.25(7)

Where the court has not given permission to the Secretary of State to withhold closed material from, or has directed the Secretary of State to serve a summary of that material on, the relevant party and the relevant party’s legal representative— the Secretary of State shall not be required to serve that material or summary; but if the Secretary of State does not do so, at a hearing on notice the court may— if it considers that the material or anything that is required to be summarised might be of assistance to the relevant party in relation to a matter under consideration by the court, direct that the matter is withdrawn from its consideration or that the Secretary of State makes such concessions or takes such other steps as the court specifies; and in any other case, direct that the Secretary of State shall not rely in the proceedings on that material or (as the case may be) on what is required to be summarised.
