Thread:Comments:Scottish Justice Secretary 'acutely aware of unusual publicity' in Kular case/UK & Commonwealth tradition v. US laws/reply (7)

This case is about postponing publication of the identity of an arrestee, in a case where there does not appear to be a public good to be achieved by spreading it around; and the relation of that to a Scottish law concerning sitautions in which there may be a public good in not publishing that identity. That's a specialized situation, a very limited degree of discretion, and concern over a potential problem rather than some claim that a problem will always arise. The salient features of the situation seem to me to be all nuanced, and I'm seeing that in the comments made about them. These salient nuances appear to be lacking in the situations you're comparing it to, and also lacking from the assertions you say you're seeing &mdash; which I do not see.
