High Court’s Refusal to Order Disclosure of Journalistic Source Underscores High Bar for Norwich Pharmacal Orders

The High Court has refused to compel The Guardian newspaper to disclose the identity of an alleged source of non-public court information. The judgment emphasises the high bar for obtaining a Norwich Pharmacal order (typically used to compel disclosure of the identity of a wrongdoer from a third party): in particular, it will be crucial that the party from whom the information is sought is “mixed up” in the wrongdoing, not just a witness or recipient of the information or documents. The case also underscores the significant weight placed by the courts on the public interest in maintaining the confidentiality of journalistic sources.

Without Prejudice, Confidentiality and Professional Standards: Reflections on Hurst v SRA

The High Court’s decision in Ashley Hurst v Solicitors Regulation Authority [2026] EWHC 85 (Admin) marks a significant development for solicitors engaged in reputation management work. The case concerned disciplinary action taken by the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) in relation to correspondence sent by Mr Hurst on behalf of former Chancellor Nadhim Zahawi during a dispute involving alleged defamation. The judgment contains useful guidance on the boundary between robust legal representation and conduct considered improper, particularly around the use of “without prejudice” and “confidential” labels.
