Sub judice rule
This briefing note on the sub judice rule was prepared by Glenn Penfold of Webber Wentzel Bowens for Sanef on 4 March 2005. The rule prohibits the publication of material that may prejudice the administration of justice in relation to pending proceedings. A breach of the sub judice rule may result in a successful prosecution for contempt of court and is the subject of much debate because of its possible impact on journalists.
