UPC CoA, 17 February 2026: Confidentiality must be requested at the time of filing

Requests for confidentiality made under R. 262.2 RoP must be submitted together with a redacted version and justification together with the document itself. 

If, on the other hand, a party has not requested under R. 262.2 RoP that certain information in pleadings or evidence be treated as confidential, the member of the public shall, upon application, be granted access under R. 262.1(b) RoP, subject to the protection of personal data, provided that the balancing of interests has been in their favour. 

The party requesting confidentiality can still submit a request before being heard by the judge rapporteur.
