A tribunal that banned the naming of a gay security guard and a woman who he said sexually harassed him, was forced to overturn the decision after a challenge by the INS News Agency.

The panel spent almost two hours debating the challenge to the restricted reporting order which they imposed without consulting the media.

INS reporter Andy Crick took on two barristers as he addressed the employment tribunal in Reading and quoted case law to back his claim that the order had been wrongly made.
