Also given that the fee has increased ( slightly ) for these hearings , does that delegitimise any protest against them in respect of CFS hearings  ? 

 

I wold say it’s a difficult one because given the new early plea /credit regime , £150 is still a paltry fee given the work involved in some very serious and often complex sentencing exercises

For what is worth I and the firms I work for take the view that as solicitors have always had rights of audience for Crown Court it has always been a choice whether to instruct counsel or not. Availability being the major issue.

 

As such I don’t believe it does offend the strike action.

 

What would have happened if the MC had said it was within their powers to sentence?

 

I can see a possible issue with Indictable Only offences but not Either Way matters. I’d be interested to hear on this point

Subject: committal for sentence 22/05/18

 

Dear all

 

We have a committal for sentence hearing coming up at Inner London Crown Court on 22/05/18, post 01/04/18 rep order. In light of the barristers’ strike, what’s the current view on committal for sentence hearings? Are firms taking the view we are obliged to cover these, in house, bearing in mind an HCA is not required, and that we should look for a solicitor agent if we can’t cover in house, or is covering such hearings seen as strike breaking?
