§ The Attorney-GeneralAlthough in my view there was an infringement of Section 1 of the Act in the newspaper reports referred to, nevertheless I do not consider that in the circumstances of this case proceedings under the Act would be appropriate. However, I would like to draw the attention of the Press to the need to prevent any similar infringement in the future.
