Medway Council v G and Others

Comment

The judge considered that the condemnation of the conduct of the council to date in press reports gave rise to a strong public interest in the facts of the case being more widely known, even though the proceedings were not concluded. The case illustrates how applications by the media for access to information about care proceedings are now likely to receive a more sympathetic hearing than was previously the case.
