The Comissioner’s barrister has suggested the court be closed in the meantime. Gary Jubelin’s barrister Margaret Cuneen “strenuously” opposes it, telling the court “there must be open justice in this case”.

A solicitor appearing for the media, including
@10NewsFirst
, is requesting to be heard in the closed court when the Magistrate hears background on the grounds for a suppression order. The Crown opposes the appearance from the media representative.

The Magistrate denied the request and the court has been closed for now.

You would think "the Media" could afford a Barrister to put forward their case, rather than a solicitor?? unless perhaps incorrect use of the term?? ha ha
 
From The Australian --

In startling scenes, Magistrate Hudson blasted the NSW Police Commissioner’s legal team for failing to prepare for this morning’s hearing.

“I’m going to give you 15 minutes to sort this out,” he said.

“It’s despicable. You are stopping somebody getting their hearing, when they have waited since September.

“I want concrete answers, not feeble excuses.

“This is burning court time.”

Mr Jubelin is charged with several offences under the Surveillance Devices Act, related to the five-year investigation into the disappearance of a three year old foster child, William Tyrrell. He denies wrongdoing.

The morning started badly for everyone, with the case assigned to a tiny courtroom on the fourth floor of Sydney’s Downing Centre, a space far too small to accommodate all of Mr Jubelin’s supporters, plus all the counsel, and media.

The trial was moved to a more cavernous space, but the NSW Police Commissioner’s barrister, Rob Bhalla, then rose to say that he wasn’t ready to proceed, despite this case being so high-profile and important – a former detective accused of misconduct in a case involving a missing foster child.

The problem, he said, was trying to find an assistant commissioner of NSW police “who is not conflicted, given the nature and previous role of the defendant.”

Must have taped something good if they are worried about the inquest! Does that hold any weight?

This article is pretty WOW!! Good on the Judge for being so direct! I personally think the Inquest needs someone like that …… rather than using the approach of Mr Craddock.... but that is my opinion only...

How can they not be ready??? and not advise the Court of this until this morning....??? The mind boggles!! IMO

There is a little more in the Australian Article about this very question... and the suppression orders in place....


The other problem is that there are dozens of suppression orders in place, because the William Tyrrell matter is before the NSW Coroner.

Some of those suppression orders cover the police work done to date; others are related to William’s status as a foster child.

The suppression orders, as they stand, mean that some information can’t be shown even to the magistrate in Mr Jubelin’s trial.

Mr Bhalla told the court that the NSW coroner handling the Tyrrell matter, Harriet Grahame, was unable, due to other commitments, to vary those suppression orders on Monday.

It was soon revealed that Mr Bhalla’s team had not been in touch with Ms Grahame until last Friday.

In essence, the court is all ready to sit, but the Police Commissioner’s team aren’t prepared.

“It was by oversight, I must admit,” Mr Bhalla said.

“We didn’t become aware (until last week) that they (the suppression orders) are so restrictive, that we couldn’t show them to your honour,” he said.

and...

Mr Bhalla pleaded for understanding, saying: “I can’t say why she (the coroner) cannot do it today. It’s a personal reason. She cannot vary the order until after 4pm. No amount of phone calls from me is going to change it.”

Literally on a roundabout. Both can’t proceed without the other.

I feel a closed court is on its way - which will restrict open justice.

If the magistrate can’t even hear the suppressed matters...... where do you go from here!

Surely the coroner, magistrate and crown should have consulted with each other from the beginning on the legalities - being a matter of interest for all involved.

Why can't the coroner vary the orders until after 4pm today?
