Al-Rawi & others v The Security Service & others
“
The open justice principle is not a mere procedural rule. "constituting a violation of that publicity in the administration of justice which is one of the surest guarantees of our liberties, and an attack upon the very foundations of public and private security." Lord Haldane LC (p 438) said that any judge faced with a demand to depart from the general rule must treat the question
Secondly, trials are conducted on the basis of the principle of natural justice. A party has a right to know the case against him and the evidence on which it is based. He is entitled to have the opportunity to respond to any such evidence and to any submissions made by the other side. The other side may not advance contentions or adduce evidence of which he is kept in ignorance. The Privy Council said in the civil case of Kanda v Government of Malaya [1962] AC 322, 337:

R v Legal Aid Board, ex parte Kaim Todner (A Firm)
“
It is necessary because the public nature of proceedings deters inappropriate behaviour on the part of the court. It also maintains the public's confidence in the administration of justice.

Section 12(1) also refers to the court having prohibited publication.

“
We have already outlined the Court's power to hear a trial or part of a trial in camera. We are persuaded on the evidence before us that there is a significant risk – at the very least, a serious possibility – that the administration of justice would be frustrated were the trial to be conducted in open Court. Indeed, we go further: on all the material, the case for the core of the trial to be heard in camera is compelling and we accede to it.
In his open judgment, dated 19 th May, Nicol J referred to the witness statement dated 12 th May, 2014, made by Ms Mari Reid, the Unit Head of the Counter Terrorism team in the Special Crime and Counter Terrorism Division of the Crown Prosecution Service. Ms Reid there made reference to both the Certificates and the Schedules.
