RE: Snaresbrook Crown Court Paul Harris 18 Feb 2021 12:02 GMT

Dear all

A few months ago I sent out an email complaining about Snaresbrook Cr Ct and suggesting a joint letter was sent by firms. We did this and had a good meeting with HHJ Zeidman at the beginning of Dec 2020.

The areas of complaint, focused on lack of communications, huge delays in listing such as bail apps, very late notice of sentencing hearings being taken out etc etc

We have an update meeting next week and I wondered if members might tell me whether they have noticed any improvement in the last 2 months. HHJ Zeidman did tell us that they had recruited more admin staff who were being trained so I do not expect that it will now be fine but I am interested in feedback.

He was very helpful and took all of our concerns seriously so I would be grateful for as much feedback as possible.

Thanks a lot

Paul
