The Western Cape High Court on Tuesday dismissed an urgent interim application for an order enforcing uninterrupted audio and a wide-angle shot of the parliamentary Chamber during disruptions.<\/p>\n
Judge Owen Rogers delivered the order within a few minutes, announcing that interim relief would not be granted and that the application for final relief would be heard on April 20.<\/p>\n
Media24, Primedia Broadcasting, the SA National Editors’ Forum and others had argued that a suspension of one part of Parliament’s broadcasting policy was urgent because further disruption in Parliament was likely in the coming weeks.<\/p>\n
At present, the policy gives the parliamentary broadcasting director the discretion to use occasional wide-angle shots during cases of unparliamentary behaviour.<\/p>\n
There is no provision for such a shot during a grave disturbance and the policy does not define what such a disturbance entails.<\/p>\n
