- Court of Appeal
The application for interim name suppression was declined because it was a belated, dilatory attempt that constituted an abuse of process: the applicant failed to act with reasonable diligence after appeals were resolved, the application would have perpetuated delay and undermined public confidence, and the applicant's and connected person's reputational concerns did not justify suppression in the circumstances.
