Suppression of evidence.(Letter to the Editor)
SIR: Congratulations on your editorial "Government, Publishing and the Information Revolution" (June 2005). The miracle of modern information technology has indeed arrived, accompanied by the possibility of suppressing information.
In addition to what is happening with government reports, quite correctly described in the editorial, there is similar suppression occurring in the courts. Transcripts of evidence in civil cases are no longer available on the public record in New South Wales (and, for all I know, in other states).
Let us say that a creditor is suing company XYZ Ltd. If a judgment is delivered in the case, the public can access it. They cannot, however, access the evidence given in the case unless they have the permission--or, indeed, the co-operation--of one of the parties involved.
