For everyone who had planned to ‘attend’ a Magistrates’ Court remotely and might otherwise be self-isolating and/or having child care problems, the MoJ statement and attitude is very difficult to understand or accept. 

If the COVID-19 pandemic is over, then we can all go back to work. If it is not over, why, oh why have lawyers been singled out as people who must ignore risks and the social distancing rules etc?

Why were the Law Society and LCCSA/CLSA not consulted and defence lawyers/Firms given no proper notice of these changes?

Just wondering 🙄?

Dear Members

 

Our Members would have seen the Judicial Office Statement on Remote Working released yesterday morning.

 

Meetings took place this afternoon to clarify the position.

 

In short, there is no change to Magistrates’ Courts on Monday. If you were planning to attend remotely, you still should do so.

 

Further guidance is expected to be released this evening.

 

Kerry Hudson

President LCCSA
