As people are doing already we all need to be publicly shaming them with pictures of the filthy unsanitary conditions in every court. They can’t just defer this by side tracking repairs into a
repairs list, these are public health concerns now ( if they weren’t always !)

Well said everyone
I see the LAA guidelines particularly inhumane as nowhere in their priorities is there any concept of health of lawyers, defendants, staff, families.
Which we should note in any professional doc we can all sign up to re effect on costs

I think the Law Society and the professional bodies need to ask the MOJ urgently for a resilience package to cope with the inevitable disruption which will have a knock on effect for the next year or so
- the long mooted reversal of the 8.75% cut
- Relaxation of 14 hour and supervision requirements for the next 3 months with an expectation that this period will be extended if necessary
- Preferred treatment for low interest loans for firms/law centres with legal aid contracts from the British Business Bank ( treating legal aid provision as the public service it is )
Others will no doubt add to this essential resilience list

We face catastrophe when jury trials are halted/rescheduled , custody suites close , arrests fall even further .A precipitate fall in activity needs an emergency response .I suggest a guarantee by the MoJ to sustain payments at the last 12 month average with provision to allow a very long rebalancing and indeed write offs .It will be the only way to keep a cjs defence infrastructure intact .

That advice is as useful as a cat flap in an elephant house.
No mention by the LAA about how to deal with the requirements for 14 fee-earning hours per week, number of cases etc. I bet that they have proper guidance for their staff.
