    ... But ... is this appeal ever likely to take place? At the moment, no. The case is now **effectively in limbo** because the Supreme Court has ruled that her appeal against loss of citizenship should be paused until she's in a position to take part.

    This is a really big win for the Home Secretary. But the story is not over. The semi-secret national security assessment of what threat Shamima Begum allegedly poses is still to be fully scrutinised by the semi-secret court that deals with those appeals.

    Lord Reed: The right to a fair hearing for Shamima Begum does not trump the safety of the public -and the Home Secretary's case that she should not be allowed in. There is no perfect solution to a dilemma of the present kind, he says.

    The Supreme Court has ALLOWED the Home Secretary's appeals and DISMISSES Shamima Begum's case. It says that the Court of Appeal got it wrong. The court had not given the Home Secretary's decision "respect" as a democratically-elected minister.

    (It's worth noting before we get into today's story that the BBC has learned The Sun won't face Contempt of Court for receiving a leak of the previous judgment in the Begum case - quite a big deal that in its own terms. The leak came from government. See above story)

    Tristan is right. It is now far more difficult for reporters, lawyers and anyone else interested in court to find out efficiently what is happening in some of the most important courts in the land. How is this open justce

    The High Court lists have fallen off CourtServe & are now terribly cumbersome to negotiate on the HMCTS website. Each file is - perhaps ironically - labelled 'transparency data'. I know there's other news today, but this has caused a mini-crisis in my world
