Tribunals: Judgements
(asked on 20th July 2020) - View Source
Question to the Ministry of Justice:
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, what assessment he has made of the effect on referenced individuals of publishing unredacted tribunal judgements online.
This question was answered on 28th July 2020
Open justice is a fundamental principle of the operation on courts and tribunals. Tribunals can make orders for proceedings to be anonymised where it is in the interests of justice to do so.
The Ministry of Justice will be working closely with the judiciary and HMCTS to establish a coherent approach for publication of judgments and case outcomes while ensuring appropriate protection for personal data.
