TWEETING IN COURT |
|
 ‘Tweeting’ is to be allowed from hearings at the highest court in Britain. Supreme Court justices are “content” for journalists, members of the public nd legal teams to use “live text-based communications” to let the outside world know what is happening in the court- room. Consent was given because cases before the court do not involve interaction with witnesses or jurors. Exceptions include family cases involving the welfare of a child, cases where publication of proceedings might prejudice a pending jury trial and those where reporting restrictions apply.
