question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, what the criteria are for the imposition of restrictions on media reporting applied to cases of economic crime.
tabling member constituency	Hornsey and Wood Green
tabling member printed	Catherine West
uin	164504
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/08/2018 answer text <p>In accordance with the principle of open justice, the general rule is that all court proceedings must be held in open court to which the public and the media have access. There are, however, circumstances in which there may be restrictions on what can be reported. The statutory criteria for reporting restrictions in all criminal cases, including economic crime, can be automatic or discretionary.</p><p>Automatic restrictions are only applied in limited situations or to specific points in the journey of a case, for example in pre-trial hearings to prevent reporting of decisions on admissibility of evidence. If discretionary restrictions are applied, the court must first be satisfied that failure to apply these restrictions would render the administration of justice impractical. In either case, the media should be given an opportunity to make representations on the imposition of any reporting restriction and the courts have the power to lift or vary the restrictions if requested.</p> answering member constituency South East Cambridgeshire answering member printed Lucy Frazer question first answered 07/08/2018 09:32:43 answering member 4517 label Biography information for Lucy Frazer
