Guardian News and Media Ltd & Ors in HM Treasury v Ahmed & Ors

Comment

Along with providing a useful analysis of the application of Karako, the judgment highlights the potentially stifling effects of anonymisation: "A report of the proceedings challenging the freezing orders which did not reveal the identities of the appellants would be disembodied. Certainly, readers would be less interested and, realising that, editors would tend to give the report a lower priority, In that way informed debate about freezing orders would suffer." per Lord Rodger, para 64.
