Transparency and the Courts – Event

It is a principle of law that justice must be seen to be done – but sometimes for various reasons the court will order reporting restrictions on the proceedings as well as keeping certain matters confidential.  

The new Lady Chief Justice has set up a committee to examine transparency and the family court has just introduced reforms to make courts more open.

Where should the line be drawn?
