Abstract

Pursuant to the Crown Court (Recording and Broadcasting) Order 2020, television cameras have now been permitted to broadcast sentencing remarks made by Judges in Crown Courts. The first such occasion of this was in the case of R v Ben Oliver (2022). This article considers the broadcast and reactions to it and considers whether this is in fact a step forward to improving accessibility for the public and open justice.
