Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The report is a comprehensive review of the law of contempt of court in New Zealand. It explains what contempt of court covers in contemporary New Zealand why it is important to reform this area of law. The report's overall recommendation is to consolidate the law of contempt in one comprehensive statute, the Administration of Justice (Reform of Contempt of Court) Act. The proposed new Act would not be a complete statutory code but would replace most of the current common law. The report considers the problems of: publications that create a real risk of interfering with an arrested person's right ot a fair trail; jurors googling or otherwise undertaking their own research and prejudicing a fair trail; jurors disclosing confidential jury deliberations; and the publication of untrue allegations and accusations about the judiciary that risk undermining public confidence in the administration of justice. The report recommends new criminal offences to replace the current judge made law in these areas. The report also recommends a new statutory process to deal with disruptions in court or "contempt in the face of the court" and new simplified statutory provisions to replace the confusing common law of civil contempt for non-compliance with court orders."--Publisher information.

Book excerpt: This Report represents the culmination of the New South Wales Law Reform Commission's review of the law of contempt by publication. The review has primarily been concerned with one aspect of contempt by publication commonly referred to as "sub judice" contempt. It has also covered two closely associated topics: namely, the powers of courts to restrict the reporting of legal proceedings; and the rules determining whether media representatives or other members of the public should be entitled to have access to court documents.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Law Commission's work on scandalising the court forms part of its wider project on contempt. Work on this aspect of contempt has been brought forward to tie in with the Government's consideration of the possible abolition of the offence under the Crime and Courts Bill. A well-publicised case in spring 2012 highlighted the historic common law offence of scandalising the court. This offence covers conduct likely to undermine the administration of justice or public confidence in the administration of justice, where the conduct does not impinge on particular proceedings. Scandalising the court has been defined as "any act done or writing published calculated to bring a Court or a judge of the Court into contempt, or to lower his authority". There has not been a successful prosecution for scandalising the court in England and Wales since 1931, although it has been used more recently in other common law jurisdictions. The controversy surrounding this offence is in relation to: the lack of clarity about both the conduct element and the mental element; the lack of clarity about the defences available; the justification for retaining such an offence in a well-established democracy; and the compatibility of the offence with freedom of speech and the European Convention on Human Rights. The consultation considers whether the current offence of scandalising the court should be abolished or, in the alternative, whether it should be retained but modified and, if so, how
