I appreciate that we do not want our clients to suffer from the strike action but if we are working pro bono aren't we defeating the purpose of the strike? 

We are trying to ensure the future of the profession for all our clients, current and future. 

None of us want to be striking, none of us want to see clients left without advocates for bail applications (or any hearings) but we have been forced into this corner by successive governments and working pro bono is exactly what the authorities are relying on - our sense of duty to our client. In some ways that has been our downfall before.  

My sense of duty now has to be to the greater cause - I appreciate each of us must make our own decisions but the line has to be drawn somewhere.

My view is that if in custody a bail application is made but prior to the PTPH and the Advocate does the Bail App pro bono making it clear that it is pro bono as Advocate and not instructed for PTPH

Dear members, 

 

does the position remain the same for those in custody? How are the courts dealing with this?

Thanks
