Publication ban

A publication ban is a legal restriction that prevents the media or the public from sharing specific information about a court case or individual involved. This is often used to protect the privacy of victims, minors, or to ensure a fair trial by limiting pre-trial publicity. Once a publication ban is in place, journalists cannot publish details that are covered by the ban, helping to preserve confidentiality and prevent undue influence or harm. The ban can be temporary or permanent, and violation of it may lead to legal consequences.
