Application made on behalf of Guardian News and Media Limited, and others for publication of the judgment of Eleanor King J, brought just the day after the convictions resulting from the tragic death of Ellie Butler; and it is made with a powerful element of public interest behind it.
The application is made on behalf of the media organisations on the basis that there is a profound public interest in reporting the story of Ellie’s death, including, in particular, the history of the care proceedings relating to Ellie’s younger sibling. It is said that the judgment of Eleanor King J should be published so as to ensure that the media can properly report both the story of Ellie’s death and the story of the care proceedings.
