Cases

Norfolk County Council v Webster & Others

Facts

Parents who claimed that they were the victims of a miscarriage of justice in previous care proceedings relating to their three older children, sought the assistance of the media to tell their story. The parents' cause had been taken up by the print and broadcast media. A fourth child, Brandon, was born and care proceedings commenced in respect of him, but not before there had been considerable media publicity identifying Brandon and his parents. Reporting restrictions were then imposed with no public domain proviso. The media applied to vary the order so as to be able to identify Brandon and attend the latter care proceedings.
