Abstract

The respondent is an independent television station which broadcasts a programme called Carte Blanche on Sunday nights. The respondent intended to broadcast an exposé on alleged malpractices involving the treatment of women undergoing voluntary abortions at a public hospital falling under the jurisdiction of the applicant. The applicant launched an "extremely urgent" application less than an hour before the programme was to go on air to prevent the screening.
