An update to my previous post on the Judge Harvey online name suppression order: the judge has lifted the ban in the face of submissions from lawyers representing APN, Fairfax, TVNZ, TV3’s owner MediaWorks, Radio New Zealand and NZPA. This would have been an expensive process. Access to the accused’s names online was possible regardless of the ban, so it begs the question; what was the point in the first place?
