I don't agree that this is an affront to the principle of open justice. As is hinted at in the article, we're dealing here with claimants who are among the most vulnerable to exploitation.

Many of them will be in receipt of hundreds of thousands, if not millions of pounds, intended to provide for care, accommodation, future loss of earnings - in short: life. Having seen first hand the financial expoitation of protected parties, I think it is wholly right that these people and their families should be afforded the protection of anonymity.
