Sure enough…
By Steven | October 22, 2009
The Solicitor-General has applied for Vince Siemer to be held in contempt of court for breaching the court order that he remove from his website his article about a suppressed HC judgment. (This time, he has sensibly just gone for a three-month jail term, seeking to avoid the Bill of Rights right-to-jury issues that continue to plague his earlier contempt application). The hearing is today, though no-one seems to be reporting it.
No-one, that is, except indefatigable campaigner Penny Bright, who says she’s proudly distributing exactly the same suppressed material as Vince and is miffed because she hasn’t been charged with contempt too. It’s a question of equality before the law, she says.
