Lord Chief Justice's statement on the start of broadcasting from the Court of Appeal

The Lord Chief Justice Lord Thomas has issued the following statement regarding broadcasting from the Court of Appeal:

"My fellow judges and I welcome the start of broadcasting from the Court of Appeal. The Court of Appeal has, of course, been open to the public and to journalists for a long time. The change in the law which is now coming into force will permit the recording and broadcasting of the proceedings of the Court of Appeal. This will help a wider audience to understand and see for themselves how the Court of Appeal goes about its work."
