Statute overview

About this statute

This section bans publishing information that could identify certain under-18 people connected to criminal proceedings, unless an authorization exception applies. The provision generally bans publishing information that could reveal the identity of certain people under 18 involved in criminal proceedings, unless authorised. It also lets a presiding judge or judicial officer authorise limited publication, and allows a police officer or authorised person to publish information in limited circumstances. The provision lets a court authorize publication of information that reveals a person’s identity in certain criminal-proceeding situations, including after proceedings have ended. A court may hear the matter in closed session, but the verdict must be delivered in open court and certain hearing-related information must not be disclosed unless authorized or required by law. This section gives the Act its short title and says it starts on publication in the Gazette. It also requires courts to weigh listed factors before granting certain orders, keep a related hearing closed, and restrict disclosure of application material and identifying information unless authorized or required by law.
