## Resource

There's a lot of confusion about suppression orders. When are they used? Why are they necessary? Are they an affront to open justice? Retired Supreme Court judge Betty King knows them well, indeed she once referred to herself as the 'queen of banning things'. In a special episode of The Case Of, Betty King explains when and why they're needed and also how they can be abused. The Case Of is the follow-up to the hit podcast Mushroom Case Daily, and all episodes of that show will remain available in the back catalogue of The Case Of.
