The Law of Contempt
This book seeks to set the Contempt of Court Act 1981 clearly in its historical context. The statute makes no claim to be a complete code. It amends existing law in some respects and otherwise leaves it untouched. This has always been the way. The law of contempt has developed piecemeal over the years, often with scant regard to general principles. "Arlidge and Eady" attempts to reduce the law governing this special jurisdiction to basic principles, consonant with the common law and with the modern statutes. Where, as so often, neither statute nor precedent provides a clear answer, the authors seek to suggest one. The 1981 Act applies (in some respects differently) to the whole of the United...
Media Freedom and Contempt of Court
The essays discuss the restrictions imposed by contempt of court and other laws on media freedom to attend and report legal proceedings. Part I contains leading articles on the open justice principle. They examine the extent to which departures from that principle should be allowed to protect the rights of parties, in particular the accused in criminal proceedings, to a fair trial, and their interest in being rehabilitated in society after proceedings have been concluded. The essays in Part II examine the topical issue of whether open justice entails a right to film and broadcast legal proceedings. The articles in Part III are concerned with the application of contempt of court to prejudicial media publicity; they discuss whether it is possible to prevent prejudice without sacrificing media freedom. Another aspect of media freedom and contempt of court is canvassed in Part IV: whether journalists should enjoy a privilege not to reveal their sources of information.

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 th...
