- High Court
The court held that s 200(2)(a) threshold was met because reliable forensic psychiatric evidence established publication would be likely to cause extreme hardship and relapse; balancing the limited public interest in publication against the significant public interest in K's rehabilitation, the court exercised its discretion to grant permanent name suppression and associated non-publication and access restrictions.
