As a counterbalance - reporting restriction from court are highly regulated in the UK. If a person breaks the regulations it is easy to deny them access the next day. No so easy on remote access, hard to control/prosecute contempt of court.
- salawat 6y agoInvalid counterbalance, in my opinion, when the conduct of the government is in question. This seems to be the most pathetically awkward attempt to close a hearing without outright admitting it that I've ever witnessed.

- matthewheath 6y ago> What kinds of regulations could be broken For example, taking photographs in court, or in this case taking screenshots of court remotely. > why is remote access still possible for other trials? It's done on a case by case basis by the judge(s) involved in the case. It's not an automatic right.
