- Court of Appeal
Applicant failed to establish any threshold ground under s 200(2): the psychological report did not prove extreme hardship and the risk to a fair retrial was speculative; s 203 did not bar publication because the sexual complaint was found to be false in the context and the public interest in open justice outweighed any personal interest in suppression; appeal dismissed and interim suppression to lapse.
