Revisiting court jurisdictional decisions could lead to “procedural chaos”, the Supreme Court has heard, in the case of three people who are accused of identifying Ana Kriegel's teenage murderers and who argue they should not have been sent from the district court to the higher level circuit court.

The Supreme Court is hearing an appeal by the three people who are accused of breaching publication restrictions imposed during the trial of the two boys.
