Proceeding contribution from Dominic Grieve (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 23 May 2011. It occurred during Urgent question on Injunctions.
Injunctions
I think that will be very much a matter for the discretion of the judge hearing the case. I do not think that one could make some kind of blanket pronouncement as to how it would operate in practice, but clearly the merit of the course of action being proposed is that it would remove the element of total secrecy, which—I can well see this argument—fuels speculation and in some cases, I have little doubt, a lack of understanding as to why the application was made in the first place, whether it was successful or not.
