In conclusion, then, I do not believe that the Chair can determine whether the government has interpreted the sub judice convention properly. |
The next day the Widgery Tribunal was announced, making meaningful reporting on what had happened sub judice. |
In addition, the media must respect the rule of sub judice and use restraint when reporting on a case that is before the courts. |
The legal term sub judice means a particular case is currently under trial, or being considered by a judge. |
A case which has been decided by a court, but is still open to appeal, is not considered sub judice until notice of appeal has been given. |
Such as it may be, the condition of Mr. Mayrand appearing is that the sub judice convention can be invoked. |
