A Recipient may disclose Confidential Information to the Recipient’s officers, employees and professional advisors who have a need to know (and only to such extent) provided that prior to disclosure such individuals have been directed in writing by the Recipient to maintain the confidentiality of the Confidential Information.

Without prejudice to the generality of Clause 32, the Service Provider shall, and shall ensure that its employees or sub-contractors shall, provide all necessary information and assistance as reasonably requested by the Fund to enable the Fund to respond to any request for information it receives and in compliance with the provisions of the FOI Act.
