This Law Commission report looks at the accurate contemporary
reporting of the content of legal proceedings taking place in
public in criminal courts. More specifically, this report focuses
on the power of the Crown Court to order that such reporting be
postponed to avoid prejudice to court proceedings. The Contempt of
Court Act 1981 provides that publication of material which has the
effect of risking serious prejudice to active court proceedings can
in some circumstances be punished as a contempt of court. The
Commission is concerned with all court reporting, whether broadcast
(on television, radio or over the internet) or published
(electronically or in print format) and whether by accredited press
representatives or others such as bloggers. The recommendations
would: ensure that court reporting postponement orders are all
posted on a single publicly accessible website (a similar website
currently operates in Scotland); include a further restricted
service where, for a charge, registered users could find out the
detail of the reporting restriction and could sign up for automated
email alerts of new orders; greatly reduce their risk of contempt
for publishers, from large media organisations to individual
bloggers, and enable them to comply with the court's restrictions
or report proceedings to the public with confidence.
