Drawing on his experience acting for the SFO in the Ultra Electronics DPA, Trevor explains that recent judgments represent “not a sharp shift in direction, but a rebalancing” between privacy rights and the principle of transparent court proceedings.

Trevor also highlights that, while prosecutors remain pragmatic in appropriate cases, the higher courts are placing increasing weight on openness to maintain public confidence in the justice system.
