Judgment overrules landmark decision by Court of Appeal provisionally permitting the naming of the young man
The Supreme Court overturned a Court of Appeal ruling, deciding a man convicted of murdering Cameron Blair is entitled to continued anonymity under the Children's Act 2001, even after turning 18 and throughout appeals. In a separate appeal, the Supreme Court also ruled that sentencing courts lack the power to review the detention of a child convicted of murder, impacting the Blair case and allowing another man convicted of murder to appeal his sentence.
