ORDER by the Honourable Mrs Justice Steyn DBE

  1. The Claimant’s name is to be withheld from the public and must not be disclosed in any proceedings in open court. There is to be substituted for all purposes in these proceedings in place of references to the claimant by name, and whether orally or in writing, references to the cipher “FBY”.
  2. Pursuant to s.11 Contempt of Court Act 1981, there must be no publication of the identity of the Claimant or of any matter likely to lead to the identification of the Claimant in any report of, or otherwise in connection with, these proceedings.
  3. The parties must:

a. when filing any statement of case; or
b. in respect of any statement of case filed prior to this Order, within 7 days of this Order;
also file a redacted copy of that statement of case omitting the name, address and any other information which could lead to the identification of the Claimant.

  1. Unless the Court grants permission under CPR 5.4(C)(6), no non-party may obtain an unredacted copy of any statement of case.
  2. Any person wishing to apply to vary or discharge this Order must make an application to the court, served on each party.

Reasons

  1. The Claimant has sought asylum and her application remains under consideration. In these circumstances, and subject to paragraph 5 which gives any person the right to seek to discharge this order, I have granted anonymity and made related orders imposing a reporting restriction and restricting non-party access to unredacted statements of case.
