Discussion Paper 43 (2000) - Contempt by publication
Terms of reference
On 14 July 1998, the Attorney General, the Honourable Jeff Shaw QC MLC, asked the Law Reform Commission to inquire into, and report on, whether the law and procedures relating to contempt by publication are adequate and appropriate including whether, and in what circumstances, a person against whom a charge of contempt is found proven should be liable to pay, in addition to any criminal penalty, the costs (of the government and of the parties) of a criminal trial aborted as a result of the contempt.
