Open justice is a cornerstone of the Australian legal system, ensuring that court proceedings are transparent and accessible to the public. This principle is fundamental to maintaining public confidence in the fairness, integrity, and efficiency of the judiciary. By allowing the public to scrutinize court processes, open justice acts as a safeguard against abuses of power, ensuring that justice is not only done but seen to be done. It helps foster accountability within the judicial system, reinforcing the idea that everyone is treated equally before the law.
However, there are exceptions to the principle of open justice when transparency could interfere with the proper administration of justice. In such cases, courts may issue suppression or non-publication orders to protect sensitive information. These orders are made in circumstances where openness could cause harm, such as endangering national security, compromising justice, or causing undue distress to individuals involved. The balance between transparency and protecting sensitive details ensures that justice is both effective and fair while safeguarding individuals' rights and public interests.
Every effort has been made to comply with non-publication (suppression) orders or statutory
provisions prohibiting publication that may apply to this information.
