| 560342 | 2007-06-18 01:58:00 | i saw today the herald and tv1 and tv2 reporting a person is going to court for a bailing hearing. now if someone has yet to go to trial,howcome the media are allowed to report the person's name? i thought you can choose to, or not to, have name supression IF your case DOES goes to trial? |

| 560344 | 2007-06-18 02:12:00 | the name supression musnt have been granted for this particular person. The judge might have thought him unworthy of it or something along those lines... | Tyroneb (11728) | ||
| 560345 | 2007-06-18 02:13:00 | but how can a judge decide this if the person hasn't even been to court yet to see a judge? the name supression musnt have been granted for this particular person. The judge might have thought him unworthy of it or something along those lines... |

| 560346 | 2007-06-18 02:20:00 | but how can a judge decide this if the person hasn't even been to court yet to see a judge? Well it depends on what the/their circumstances are, what the person actually does, what the charges are, whether he/she is someone well known, whether it'd affect them somehow. On whether their name should be known. Or suppressed. And if its a youth, their name is most probably suppressed automatically. |

| 560347 | 2007-06-18 02:39:00 | Wouldn't there be a preliminary hearing? Perhaps i have the short end of the stick | Tyroneb (11728) | ||
| 560348 | 2007-06-18 05:14:00 | Can a JP also determine whether name suppression should be allowed before someone has seen a judge because that would explain this. | beeswax34 (63) | ||
| 560349 | 2007-06-18 05:27:00 | Name suppression is the exception; it's not automatic. Suppression has to be applied for, with good reasons. | Graham L (2) | ||
| 560350 | 2007-06-18 05:41:00 | Graham L is correct . You don't have an automatic right to name suppression, a lawyer has to apply to the court for it on your behalf . If you are a "person of interest" to the media, try not to get arrested on the weekend 'cos your lawyer can't apply for name suppression 'till Monday morning . If the media see you getting dragged off to the cells on Saturday night and recognise you, there's nothing legally stopping them reporting your name . |

| 560351 | 2007-06-18 06:07:00 | UPDATE: ok the person who i'm talking about has CHOSEN not to apply for name supression. If you don't already know(it's all over the news and nzherald website),it's Millie Elder. She is the stepdaughter of Paul Holmes. SHe's charged with drug possession and receiving stolen goods,and letting her flat be used for drug supply, and having a cannabis tree in her flat. She's be granted bail and will appear in court again on July 9th. So what is going to happen on july 9th? She's got bail,so will this next court appearance be where they decide if she's guilty or not? If she is found guilty,will she be back in court again for setencing? |
