Revocation of the suppression order was appropriate because the order had been made by the Court without Crown or victim input, the victim does not support suppression, the respondent did not oppose revocation, and prior publication of the respondent's name undermined the purpose of the suppression; the Court accordingly revoked the order and recalled and reissued its earlier judgment with identifying details removed while maintaining statutory protections for the complainant.
