Courts have the right to impose reporting restrictions on cases and this is normally decided upon jointly by the prosecution, defence and the judge although the judge can decide for him/herself.
While there are lots of reasons, the following are the most common; preventing reporting where publication would interfere with the duty to provide protection from a threat to a person's life or personal safety [although this only came in in 2007]. This applies to witnesses and defendants. In the interests of morals, public order or national security. Where the interests of juveniles or the protection of the private lives of the parties so require. To the extent strictly necessary in the opinion of the court in special circumstances where publicity would prejudice the interests of justice.

I have no idea.i have tried to find informations but gone nowhere.
