The court exercised its statutory discretion under s15 Courts of Judicature Act to grant anonymisation and publication bans in modified terms because the privacy and welfare interests of the parties (including adult children), the risk of harm from disclosure, prevention of jigsaw identification, and the absence of a genuine overriding public interest outweighed the presumptive principle of open justice; the Respondent's public office did not negate entitlement to anonymity and costs were appropriate.
