Jack, you are so wrong. Not all 'evidence' is admissable in a UK court for very good reasons mainly. If she is basing her judgement on unadmissable evidence then there will not be a fair trial. The judge was 100% right, she was told what she could and could not do and she chose to ignoer the judge - that is contempt of court and carries an appropriate punishment.
