Unless it appears from the originating application, or is otherwise shown to the satisfaction of the Court, that the applicant does not desire his identity to be kept confidential, the proceedings shall be conducted with a view to securing that he is not seen by or made known to any person (other than the infant or the spouse of the applicant) whose consent to the order is required; and in particular the Court shall direct that the applicant (unless his attendance is dispensed with under Rule 17) shall attend and be heard and examined separately and apart from any such person as aforesaid.
