Judge spells out test for what constitutes contempt

?Real risk' formula conveys what law is concerned with, Judge Quentin Loh says in judgement on Shadrake case. But lawyers and law academics interviewed were quick to point out Justice Loh's approach does not open the door for a more relaxed view of contempt. The reason is the way the judge had defined ?real risk?, said Assistant Professor Jack Lee, who noted that the definition is a broad one, so much so that should a statement have been a trace of risk of undermining public confidence in the courts, it would be found in contempt.
