一名男子申请禁制令以阻止两家媒体机构刊播针对他的指控,遭高等法院法官驳回,但法官裁定目前仍不得公布该男子姓名,以待可能的上诉。

Man loses injunction bid against two news organisations over allegations but can't be named yet A man has lost his bid for an injunction against two media outlets to prevent the publication of allegations against him, a judge has ruled.

该男子对《卫报》出版商卫报新闻媒体集团(GNM)及独立电视新闻公司(ITN)——该公司为ITV及其他频道制作新闻节目——提起法律诉讼。

The High Court judge has ruled that he cannot yet be named, subject to any appeal. The man brought legal action against Guardian News and Media (GNM), publisher of The Guardian, and Independent Television News (ITN), which produces news programmes for ITV and other channels.

代表媒体机构的律师表示,他们拟报道的指控涉及该男子涉嫌“滥用权力和地位”联系年轻女性,并试图从事“不当且具剥削性的性行为”。

Lawyers representing the media organisation said that the allegations they want to report involve the man's alleged "abuse of power and status" to contact young women and try to engage in "inappropriate and exploitative sexual activities".

这名知名人士否认上述指控,他申请禁制令阻止播出和刊登,理由是存在自杀风险,此前他已两度尝试自杀。

The man, who is well-known and denies the claims, sought an injunction to prevent this broadcast and publication because of a risk that he would take his own life, after two previous suicide attempts.

周二作出判决时,尼克林法官在判决摘要中表示:“原告的禁制令申请被驳回。

In a judgment on Tuesday, Mr Justice Nicklin said in a summary of his ruling: "The claimant's claim for an injunction was dismissed.

“法院未裁定这些指控或其中任何一项是否属实,驳回申请不等于批准被告可能决定进行的任何出版行为。”法官补充说,该男子多次表示如果指控被公开他将自杀,这必须被严肃对待,但“禁制令无法治疗原告潜在的精神疾病,也无法消除其较高的基线自杀风险”。

"The court did not determine whether the allegations, or any of them, were true, and the dismissal of the claim does not amount to approval of any publication the defendants may decide to make." The judge added that the man repeatedly said he intends to take his own life if the allegations are published, which must be taken seriously, adding that "the injunction would not treat the claimant's underlying psychiatric condition or eliminate his elevated baseline risk".

“因此,所寻求的救济将具有不确定且可能无限期的持续时间,”他补充道。

"The relief sought would therefore be of uncertain and potentially indefinite duration," he added.

代表该男子的资深大律师萨拉·曼苏里表示,他否认不当行为指控,且刊播“可能造成致命后果”。该大律师还称,原告“无意重返公众视野”。

Sara Mansoori KC, representing the man, said he denies the allegations of wrongdoing and that publication "would have a potentially fatal impact". The barrister also said the claimant "has no intention of returning to public life".

代表ITN和GNM出庭的御用大律师加文·米勒表示,此案有“将法官拖入评估自杀意念成因的风险,而这属于专业人士的职责范畴,而非法官的职责”。

Gavin Millar KC, for ITN and GNM, said the case risks "dragging judges into assessing the causes of suicidal ideation, which are for professionals and not for a judge".

他随后表示:“显而易见,拟议的出版将为一场至关重要的公共辩论做出宝贵贡献,该辩论关乎男性利用权力在该社会领域对女性实施不当行为。”

He later said: "Plainly, the proposed publication would make a valuable contribution to a debate of public importance, about men using their power to be able to misconduct themselves against women in that area of society."
