PUBLICATION BAN

During a trial, anything that is said or presented in court while the jury is away cannot be reported. Only after the trial can the press reveal "what the jury didn't see."

By law, judges must grant a publication ban on evidence presented at bail hearings and preliminary inquiries if requested to do so.

In general, publication bans exist to:

1. Ensure a fair trial for a person accused of a crime.

2. Ensure transparency of proceedings so Canadians know that crimes are prosecuted, and punished if proven.

3. Ensure privacy of people who may be affected by the information divulged in court.
