Journalists covering court matters must always be vigilant in case some form of publication ban is in effect.
To find out whether a ban has been issued in a Provincial Court case, ask at the court registry.
If there is any doubt about whether publication is permitted, seek legal advice. Breaching a publication ban may sometimes be an offence under legislation. Other breaches can constitute contempt of court, punishable by the Court. The penalty for breaching a publication ban could be a fine, a conditional discharge or probation order (which might involve community work service) and potentially even jail.
