While the Criminal Procedure Rules require all courts to give certain additional information on individual cases upon request from the media and other interested third parties, courts are currently obliged to give more information on cases prosecuted under the SJP. This includes the prosecution statement of facts and the defendant’s statement in mitigation. In addition, a list of pending SJP cases is published online each day and is available to the public. The media also receive a more detailed list of these cases so that they can report on them if they so wish. The media can therefore receive more information about cases dealt with under this procedure than traditional proceedings in open court, where they only receive such information if they actually attend the hearing. The SJP may be one of the themes we will explore via the call for evidence we will be launching in 2023. We will carefully consider stakeholders’ views, alongside the conclusions and recommendations in the JSC’s open justice report, before making any future decisions.
