The website of the judges, magistrates and tribunal members in England and Wales

31 January 2008

A detailed summary and the transcripts of the bail hearings in the case of the late Garry Weddell are published here.

These have been published since, because Mr Weddell has died, there is no question of prejudice in relation to a future trial, and analysis of the transcripts does not reveal any further reasons such as confidentiality or witness anonymity that would justify maintaining the normal principle that transcripts of this nature are not published.

However, some parts of the transcripts have been redacted, in order to protect details of children and witnesses, and in line with reporting restrictions made in relation to current family court proceedings. An Order was made by HH Judge Farnworth in relation to those proceedings on 14 January 2008.
