Sub judice - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
You obviously did your last bit of revision before this act came into power, or maybe, because you were towards the end of your career, no longer felt the need for revision?

Sub judice is now irrelevant to journalists because of the introduction of the Contempt of Court Act 1981. a substantial risk of serious prejudice can only be created by a media report when proceedings are active. Proceedings become active when there's an arrest, oral charge, issue of a warrant, or a summons.
