"When speaking to the media on specific cases, we are always careful not to discuss anything that was debated in a private session at tribunal."

Why was there any need for a "private session"?

In any event, this is not about revealing what was said in a private session. It was a case of making a press statement which said that the SDT was "waking up to the importan[ce] of deterrence" while failing to disclose that the SRA had purported to agree an outcome which involved a fine half that which was ultimately imposed.
