Contempt of Court, Northern Ireland
When the defendant charged with indecent assault was remanded on bail to await trial, the magistrate ordered that there should be no report of the proceedings at that stage because of the defendant's concerns that publicity would lead to his being attacked; this would frustrate the administration of justice because he might no longer be able to face trial. The newspaper objected. Held. Magistrates cannot prevent publication of proceedings outside the strict limits of the Act even if could interfere with course of justice. "The use of the words 'some other public interest' indicates that Lord Diplock had in mind the protection of the public interest in the administration of justice rather than the private welfare of those caught up in that administration."

Northern Ireland, Constitutional
The claimant was an MP from Northern Ireland. As an MP he had been required to swear allegiance to the Crown, but he had refused to do so for his belief in an independent Ireland. He challenged the decision of the Speaker of the House to refuse him his expenses due as an MP. Held: There was no human rights breach, but the allegation related to a matter within the area of exclusive jurisdiction that the House enjoyed over its own business. The Speaker's decision "could not be challenged by way of judicial review". The Speaker's announcement in the House of Commons of action taken by her on behalf of the House to regulate the use by members of services which are ancillary to their work within the Chamber was a proceeding in Parliament and immune from judicial intervention. By virtue of article 9 "control of its own internal arrangements has long been recognised as falling uniquely within Parliament's domain and superintendence from which the court's intervention is excluded".
