- High Court
The appellant failed to establish any threshold in s200(2) CPA: the psychological evidence, being largely self-reported and uncorroborated, did not show a real and appreciable risk to safety or extreme hardship; available protective factors (family support, ongoing psychological treatment, employment) and prior publicity meant the presumption of open justice was not displaced, so name suppression was refused and the appeal dismissed (with short interim suppression to allow filing for leave to appeal).
