Revenue and Customs Commissioners v Charman: [2012] EWHC 1448 (Fam); [2012] WLR (D) 165

“As a general rule documents and other evidence produced in ancillary relief proceedings were not disclosable to third parties outside the proceedings save in an exceptional case and for very good reason, unless the court gave leave. The fact that evidence might be relevant or useful was not of itself a good enough reason to undermine that rule.”

“Where documents had been placed before a judge and referred to in the course of court proceedings, access should generally be permitted on the open justice principle. Where access was sought for a proper journalistic principle the case for allowing it would be particularly strong. The court would undertake a fact-specific proportionality exercise where there were grounds of opposition to the application for disclosure.”

The decision concerns a claim for leasehold enfranchisement, but is of wider importance and is a reminder, assuming that any is required, that statutory notices are very much all or nothing.”
