Publication Ban Notification System

In accordance with a Practice Direction (PD-56), the Publication Ban Notification System provides the public with timely information regarding applications for discretionary publication bans or to exclude the public from the courtroom. It applies to criminal, quasi-criminal proceedings and civil proceedings in all Supreme Court locations. It does not apply to family proceedings and other types of proceedings listed in PD-56.

A party in a criminal, quasi-criminal or civil proceeding who intends to apply for a discretionary publication ban or to exclude the public from the courtroom is required by PD-56 to complete a notification form. The information in that form is then transmitted by RSS.

Please consult PD-56 for detailed information regarding this notification system.

The RSS feed displays the content of notifications of applications for publication bans that have been submitted using the online form. By viewing the notifications in the RSS feed or email system you are indicating your agreement to the terms and conditions.
