NAME SUPPRESSED v WELLINGTON STANDARDS COMMITTEE 2 OF THE NEW ZEALAND LAW SOCIETY [2015] NZHC 903

- High Court
Permanent name suppression was ordered because credible medical evidence established that publication would cause significant distress and harm to the appellant's teenage daughters and those harms outweighed the presumptive principles of open justice and public protection given the low gravity of the professional misconduct and the appellant's unblemished record; the Tribunal's narrower family-information order could not prevent the identified harm.
