Recommendation 22
22
Paragraph: 82
Reporting restrictions show inconsistency in notification and ineffective compliance on social media
Conclusion
Reporting restrictions play a key role in securing the fairness of the justice system. However, it is clear that there is inconsistency in the courts’ approach to notifying the media when restrictions are in place, and they are often not effective at ensuring compliance, particularly on social media. This is an important example of where the modernisation of the infrastructure of open justice is long overdue
