The motion

That this House notes that on 20 May 2013 JD was given a suspended prison sentence for contempt of court by His Honour Judge John in Swansea County Court; further notes that it took until December 2013 for this to appear on the Bailii database; further notes that in contravention of the practice direction of 3 May 2013 and later comments, JD has still not been identified; and calls for the Justice Select Committee to review why it is that some judges are not following the proper practice directions and what can be done to ensure that they do.
