VIEW JUDGMENT

Judgments are sometimes edited to take account of suppression orders, or if the general publication of them is likely to have an adverse impact on victims, witnesses and others connected with the proceedings. A Judge may decline to release a judgment for publication if the Judge believes it is not possible to edit the judgment appropriately while retaining meaning.
