Perell dismissed the argument that publishing the officers' names could put them at risk, stating that a publication ban would hinder freedom of expression and understanding of the circumstances.
"The whole of civil society has an interest in scrutinizing the administration of justice in a civil action that involves how that society is being policed," wrote Justice Perell.
Perell highlighted the importance of naming the officers to understand whether the incident was isolated or part of a systemic problem, emphasizing the public's right to information.
The decision by the court allows for transparency in cases involving police conduct, demonstrating the significance of open scrutiny and accountability in such matters.
