Independent News and Media Ltd and Others v A

Family Division

“Court of Protection proceedings were within the recognised exceptions to the open justice principle. Since article 10 of the European Convention on Human Rights, guaranteeing freedom of expression, was not thus immediately engaged, it was for an applicant to demonstrate good reason for publicity before the court was obliged to conduct the conventional balancing exercise between rights under article 10 and article 8, protecting the right to privacy.”
