The Litvinenko Inquiry

Appendix 7 | Restriction Notices and Orders
RESTRICTION ORDER
Evidence of Witness G
Further to an application for anonymity received from Witness G, I made a provisional ruling
in favour of granting him this by means of a Restriction Order. That provisional ruling is dated
25 September 2015 and was provided to Core Participants and media representatives on
that date so that they might make submissions upon it. I received no such submissions and
I now make the following order for the reasons set out in the provisional ruling.
1 There shall be no disclosure or publication of any information that identifies or tends
to identify Witness G.
2 Other than with the express written permission of the Chairman, there shall be no
disclosure or publication of the further evidence given by Witness G referred to in the
provisional ruling.
This Order is made under section 19(1) of the Inquiries Act 2005 and binds all members of
the public, including Core Participants.
In the case of public authorities, the restrictions specified in this Order take effect subject to
the terms of section 20(6) of the Inquiries Act 2005.
Any person affected by this Order may apply in accordance with section 20 of the Inquiries
Act 2005 to vary its terms.
