Access to Family Court documents under the open justice principle – Transparency Project
‘Journalists and legal bloggers (reporters) are normally allowed to see certain types of documents under the Reporting Provisions that came in this year, and earlier during the Reporting Pilot. Sometimes reporters ask to see other relevant documents, and there’s a process for applying to do this. This blog post is about a case where the BBC have been following a case in the family courts in which they asked for, and were given permission to see, certain extra documents. However, other parties in the case weren’t happy about this and applied for permission to appeal (PTA) against that order for disclosure of the documents.’
