16 h, apr 8, 2020 y - Depp v NGN & Wootton
Hearing via Skype
NGN & Wootton
Application That Parts
Of The Trial Should Take
Place In Private
GRANTED
Description:
On 8th April 2020 I heard an application that parts of the trial should take place in private (and for other associated orders). I granted the application for reasons which I gave in an unreserved judgment.
This Hearing was conducted via Skype and it appears that the media and other interested parties could log in and follow the the proceedings. A UK Lawyer who was nothing involved with any party or witness in the case did just this - Mr John Brace. With his wife acting as co-editor Mr Brace then published un unofficial version of the MINUTES OF THE HEARING on his website which has more detail and transcription than any media article.
