In matter Nos A15/2016 and A16/2016, I order that pursuant to section 77RE(1)(a) of the Judiciary Act 1903 (Cth), it being necessary to prevent prejudice to the proper administration of justice, except without first having obtained the leave of the Court or a Justice, there be no disclosure of any information revealing or tending to reveal the identity of any of the 12 jurors who provided affidavits in the court below.
