[2013] EWCA Crim 773

The crown court had jurisdiction to order reporting restrictions under the Youth Justice and Criminal Evidence Act 1999 s.46 where the name of a witness was common knowledge but publication of photographs of her and her children would have led to her identification which would have affected the quality of her evidence at trial.
