C v CPS [2008] EWHC 854 (Admin), (2008) 172 JP 273
Great care must be taken when making orders under s 39(1) of the Children and Young Persons Act 1933 prohibiting any publication of matters in proceedings that might lead to the identification of the children involved in criminal proceedings. Such orders should not to be made as a matter of routine. They require a careful balance of matters relating to the public interest. Before making such an order the court should generally ask members of the press whether they have any submissions.
