Dear Members
I wonder if anyone has come across a situation where crown court judges are refusing adjournments ( when one is required because chambers/counsel can be instructed at present on new matter ) and insisting that solicitors should simply attend and desk with ptphs and such like?

Apart from the fact I don’t have higher rights, I don’t feel comfortable dealing with case management issue requiring input ideally from trial counsel.

And what about the small matter of who will pay for my time?

Any suggestions as to how to deal with this would be much appreciated.

Kind Regards
Abu/Sbg
