Hi All,

I now understand that Camberwell Overnights this Saturday will be at Westminster and at Hendon on Monday.

Camberwell bail cases will be listed there at Camberwell on Monday but, as today the Defendants will be bailed at the Court door by a Legal Advisor to return in a couple of weeks.There will be no Judiciary in the building and so there will be little point in an advocate attending. Save for the fact that you will not know the remand date without contacting your client. I am not going to be there unless this changes.

The Court's IT system is somewhat damp and the phones currently out of order so don't waste time trying to contact over the weekend, or, I assume, Monday.

The word is that much of the damage seems to be in staff areas rather than the Courtrooms and so there is hope that normal service will be resumed soon, but no-one is going to know that until the clear-up has started over the week-end.

My and I trust your sympathies are with the staff whose working conditions now threaten to be even worse than ours.

I will mail further if I hear anything over the weekend
Bruce
