Cases

Birmingham City Council v H

Held

(i) The case raised points of public interest and the judgment at the directions stage was to be made available to the public in anonymised form, as were the earlier relevant judgments of Bracewell J and Kirkwood J. Identities were not to be published but the Judge accepted that reporting linked to identified individuals has greater impact although it may fail to prompt balanced public debate. (iii) If an application for disclosure of medical reports had been pursued the court would have invited representations from the medical bodies concerned.
