Contempt of court: court reporting

Government has welcomed our recommendations and will consider how an online reporting restriction database could be taken forward

Parent Project: Contempt of Court

Project (Back to top)

We published a report explaining and setting out our recommendations in this area on 26 March 2014.

In our report we recommended:

  • ensuring that postponement orders on court reporting are all posted on a single publicly accessible website (a similar website currently operates in Scotland), and
  • including a further restricted service where, for a charge, registered users can access the terms of the order and sign up for automated email alerts of new orders.

The Government has welcomed these recommendations, and will consider how an online reporting restriction database could be taken forward as existing technology is updated and replaced.
