The Observer’s Dilemma: Does negotiating with power and parties compromise independence?
Celia and Gill will be sharing our experience of observing hearings in the Court of Protection as part of this panel discussion. We will be talking with other panel members with experience of accessing, or attempting to access proceedings across jurisdictions, and will consider how the Court of Protection Transparency framework compares with other approaches in terms of securing open access to legal proceedings and protecting the independence of those who report on what goes on in court.
