175. Scandalising the Court – International and European Conventions—
Scandalising a Court has always been and will continue to be regarded in
principle as not falling within the legitimate exercise of freedom of expression. There is no doubt that the application in practice of this principle to the
present case, given the gravity of the contempt alleged, would not be beyond the limits proportionate to the object envisaged for the protection
which the Court should enjoy. DPP v Boodhoo (1992).
