The website of the Ministry of the Attorney General for Ontario includes an interesting discussion of
publication bans in Ontario, but really misses the point when it comes to the distribution of court judgments and
publication bans in the era of
online distribution and access to legal information.
Missing entirely from the discussion on the website is any indication that anyone in the Ministry really understands
publication bans at the «nuts and bolts» level where courts and the Ministry of the Attorney General physically distribute judgments to legal publishers for the purpose of making them available
online.
