R v Noufl (No 2) (Section 45 Crime Commission Act) [2026] NSWSC 983

R v Noufl (No 2) (Section 45 Crime Commission Act) [2026] NSWSC 983 determined whether confidential NSW Crime Commission evidence relevant to Noufl’s prosecution should be disclosed under s 45(5) of the Crime Commission Act 2012 (NSW). Hamill J considered whether the interests of justice required access and how confidentiality should be protected. The Court ordered transcripts from 11 and 17 September 2024 disclosed only to prosecution and defence lawyers, subject to redactions and strict handling requirements. It declined to release a second witness’s evidence from 24 September after persuasive opposition, but left the issue open for reconsideration if developments at trial altered the assessment.
