The Court held that judgments, orders and minutes on the court file are accessible as of right and, having applied the r12 balancing factors, the originating application under s284 Companies Act 1993 does not disclose more than is evident from the publicly available judgment and no competing privacy, fair trial or commercial sensitivity interests outweigh the principle of open justice; accordingly access to the originating application was granted.
