Tickle v Herefordshire County Council & Ors [2022] EWHC 1017 (Fam)

The Court was concerned with an application by a journalist, Ms Tickle, relating to care proceedings. The journalist wished to identify and screen an interview with the mother in the care proceedings, Ms Logan, within a BBC Panorama programme in an unanonymised form. The local authority in the care proceedings, Hertfordshire County Council (“HCC”), opposed this, and made a cross application for a Reporting Restriction Order (“RRO”), prohibiting the identification of employees of HCC.
