Breach of the order below may constitute contempt of court and be punished by a fine or imprisonment.

The Upper Tribunal makes an Order under rule 14 prohibiting publication of any matter or disclosure of any documents likely to lead members of the public directly or indirectly to identify any of the following persons:

The Appellant

The Appellant’s father and stepmother

The Appellant’s children

The Appellant’s former partner and father of her children

The girls involved in the incident for which the Appellant accepted a caution

The man involved in that incident

The Appellant’s present partner, his former partner and their child

The initials used in this Decision are not the true initials of the persons concerned.

The Order is made with a view to preventing the jigsaw identification of those who, by virtue of youth or otherwise, the panel considers vulnerable. It supersedes the Order made by a Registrar on 9 October 2024. Save as above, the application by DBS by letter dated 5 February 2025 for a total of 36 people to be made the subject of a rule 14 order is refused as disproportionate and unnecessary.
