What is the current state of the law on publication bans?

In John Doe v. Joe Smith, Veit J. stated: 12 The case law is clear: mere embarrassment does not constitute justification for a publication ban: see outline of recent cases in Waxman. Nor does a general expectation of personal or health or financial privacy: see cases reviewed in A.B. v. Stubbs. Nor does the fact that the litigant is an "ordinary person" in whom the public has no particular interest: see cases reviewed in A.B. v. Stubbs. The medical privacy issue does not arise in a situation where medical malpractice is alleged. Nor indeed, is there any legitimate expectation of privacy in any case in which a plaintiff uses the court process to ask for money.
