Injunction proceedings involving the new identity and whereabouts of Maxine Carr return to the High Court on Friday.
The court in July tightened the original order protecting Carr's identity after a newspaper reported employment and accommodation details.
The media complained this stopped them monitoring, without reporting on, Carr.
The 27-year-old was released in May after serving 21 months for conspiring to pervert the course of justice with Soham killer Ian Huntley.
She had provided a false alibi for her ex-fiancé for the weekend in August 2002 when Huntley had murdered 10-year-old schoolgirls Holly Wells and Jessica Chapman in Soham, Cambridgeshire.
'Public interest'
The injunction now in place bans publication of any details which could reveal Carr's identity, including description of where she lives and the nature of her work.
The media did not challenge the issue of publication but argued the injunction too greatly restricted soliciting of information.
They said they needed to monitor Carr's movements because there would be a public interest in knowing, for example, whether she was seeking employment in a school.
The High Court had ruled following Carr's release on probation that because of death threats her identity needed to be kept secret.
Mr Justice Eady said there was "clear evidence" of danger to her life and that the order was "necessary and proportionate".
Carr later described in a newspaper interview her fear of being attacked and how a simple trip to the shops was an ordeal.
