Court

High Court

Access to the court file was granted under r 3.11; the Court held it lacked authority under the procedural rules to impose conditions controlling media reporting or to direct the quality or balance of subsequent publications, because the r 3.16 criteria guide the decision to grant access but do not confer power to regulate media content, which engages s 14 rights.
