The Guardian’s application to call ‘Anita’
The Guardian’s application to call ‘Anita’
The Guardian made an application on the evening of Friday 14 March 2025 (day 8) for permission to call at trial a new witness and to adduce her witness statement of the same date. I granted anonymity and reporting restrictions in respect of the proposed new witness, who is pseudonymised as ‘Anita’. I heard the application on Monday 17 March 2025 (day 9) and refused it for the reasons given in my ex tempore judgment: Clarke v Guardian [2025] EWHC 995 (KB).
