At the start of the Teams hearing, I raised the question of anonymity. This was sought by Mr Lee and not opposed by Ms Anderson. I granted anonymity but with liberty to apply. I did so on a precautionary basis. I was satisfied in all the circumstances that it was necessary to make an anonymity order to secure protection from the risk of harm. The Claimant is an asylum seeker. His asylum claim has yet to be determined on its merits. I was concerned that he could be imperilled by being identified. In the recent CTK case there was a similar anonymity order both in the High Court and the Court of Appeal. My order included reporting restrictions, which remain in place. The anonymity order has been published on the judicial website.
