A fundamental principle of justice is that it must be seen to be done. It is established in the UK that court cases should be heard in public.
This principle of open justice is acclaimed on a number of grounds: as a safeguard against judicial error, as a deterrent to perjury, to assist the deterrent function of criminal trials and to permit the revelation of matters of public interest.
Costs include victim surcharge and criminal courts charges.
