Numerous cases have emphasised the link between open justice and the right under Article 10 of the European Convention of Human Rights to freedom of expression and have provided guidance on the nature of that right, including stressing the importance of names to the exercise of that freedom (see, in particular, Khuja v Times Newspapers Limited and ors [2017] UKSC 49, [2019] AC 161 at [14]-[30]). Section 12(4) of the Human Rights Act 1998 (HRA 1998) requires the Court to have “particular regard to the importance of the Convention right to freedom of expression” when considering whether to make any order that might affect the exercise of that right. This is not a case in respect of which there has been any press interest, nor does any seem likely; that does not affect the principles we have to apply, but it does mean there is no one who can realistically be notified as a ‘respondent’ to this application for the purposes of section 12(2) of the HRA 1998.
