JUDICIAL PROCEEDINGS REPORTS ACT 1958 - SECT 4K

Scope and effect of victim privacy order

    (1)     A victim privacy order must specify—

        (a)     to whom the order applies in relation to prohibiting or restricting publication of information that is likely to lead to the identification of a deceased affected person as a victim of a sexual offence or an alleged sexual offence, including specifying whether the order applies to—

              (i)     specific persons or bodies as specified in the order, as the case requires; or

              (ii)     the general public at large; and

        (b)     the information to which the order prohibiting or restricting publication applies with sufficient detail to ensure that it is readily apparent from the terms of the order what information is subject to the order.

    (2)     A victim privacy order must not prevent the publication of details of a sexual offence or an alleged sexual offence or the identification of an offender or an alleged offender if that publication is not likely to lead to the identification of the deceased affected person as a victim of that offence or alleged offence.
