You've been given statements from your employers witnesses and one of them inadvertently admits to breaking the law. Can I give a copy of that statement to the police or media even though it has not yet been read out in court? Im assuming when it has been read out it is then in the public domain.
Are witness statements seen as private documents before a hearing?

Re: Are witness statements seen as private documents before a hearing?
It would be unwise all witness statements are disclosed to the parties to a claim at least 14 days prior to a
hearing after the hearing what you do with these documents is up to you.

The police and the media are two completely different things and sit at opposite ends of the spectrum: it is possible to report crimes to the police confidentially, the media on the other hand would probably publish he whole thing. Although journalists argue they never reveal their sources, there are times when there's no need to reveal them as they'd be quite obvious. :mmph:
