Catherine Christey joined the legal battle over a gag order protecting children's privacy after their father’s death in a 2024 police shootout.
Catherine Christey, mother of Tom Phillips’ children, has joined the legal fight over a gag order restricting disclosure of details from the high-profile case, following Phillips’ death in a police shootout on September 8, 2024.
The injunction, initially sought after the children’s rescue from a Waikato campsite, remains in effect, with courts citing the need to protect the children’s privacy and well-being.
Multiple hearings before Justice Helen Cull and Judge Garry Collin have extended the suppression order, blocking media, police, and Oranga Tamariki from sharing sensitive information.
The children, now in state care, are deemed vulnerable victims, and the court has appointed itself guardian, imposing broad restrictions on future publications.
Police continue searching for individuals who aided Phillips during his four-year fugitive period, which included abductions, robberies, and break-ins.
The case remains unresolved, with no timeline for lifting the gag order.
