Original Note:
The Government is first asking a court to verify if the request is lawful. In any event, it is not a criminal offence to fail to hand over information to an inquiry but if a court order is obtained requiring handover of evidence it could be contempt of court to fail. https://www.reuters.com/world/uk/were-confident-our-position-says-uks-sunak-ahead-covid-inquiry-deadline-2023-06-01/ https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2005/12/section/21
