The Law

Contempt of Court

Where legal proceedings become "active", there are concerns about contempt of court in addition to the usual issues. Consideration should be given to links to archived stories which could create a substantial risk of serious prejudice. Where appropriate, these should be removed. See Section 16 of the Editorial Guidelines for more about contempt. For advice, consult Programme Legal Advice Department.
