Parish council chairman first lawyer filmed

Proceedings can now be recorded for viewing purposes after the partial lifting of a 1925 law that prohibited image and sound recordings from English courts, with the exception of the Supreme Court.
Now judges’ statements and lawyers’ arguments are permitted to be filmed, but victims, offenders, witnesses and jurors comments are still off-limits.
A 70-second delay will also be in place on the live feed to remove anything deemed to breach restrictions.
Speaking to the Newbury Weekly News this week, Mr Cameron, the brother of the prime minister, who was told that he would appear on screen only the night before, said: “It was a bit of a surprise as I didn’t know until late, but I just got on with it.
“The cameras are very small, like
CCTV cameras, so it wasn’t particularly offputting. Once I started talking, I forgot they were there and just went about my business as usual.”
The BBC, Sky News, ITN and PA have campaigned for years to make filming possible and have now collaborated to pay for a news service from the five court rooms where cameras have been placed.
Mr Cameron lost the case for his client Kevin Fisher, who was appealing against a seven-year jail sentence.
