146. If the coroner considers it necessary in the public interest or for the protection of the privacy of a person, his reputation or his right to a just and fair trial, he shall, of his own motion or on application, ban the publication or release of information given or that could be given at the inquest.
The order banning the publication or release of information is valid for the period fixed by the coroner or for the duration of the inquest, unless the coroner lifts the ban before the end of the inquest.
