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 error, as a deterrent to perjury, to assist the deterrent function of trials and to permit the revelation of matters of public interest. Costs include surcharge and courts charges.
