This Practice Note looks at the Redaction of information or data in Disclosure in civil proceedings. It considers the reasons for redacting documents, such as to maintain Confidentiality/privilege and avoid irrelevance, the information that can be redacted, the courts’ approach to redacting information and practical matters.

Redaction is the process by which part of the text, data or graphics in a document is obscured or 'masked' (the word ‘information’ being used below to cover all of these). This can be a means of seeking to maintain the confidentiality of information, most commonly, a name (whether or an individual, entity, process, etc). Redacted documents can form part of any litigation.
