Crown courts to allow filming for first time

As part of a pilot scheme proposed by the Ministry of Justice, TV cameras could be allowed into crown courts in England and Wales for the first time. During the pilot, sentencing remarks made by senior judges at eight courts, including London's Old Bailey, would be filmed but not broadcast.

This does not apply to other court users, including defendants, witnesses and victims, which filming remains banned.


Filming has been allowed before only at the Court of Appeal and Supreme Court.
