Presumably the one with the bail conditions didn’t need to hand deliver the letter. Who’s wasting police time?

Well done to all that came for IV today at Drystone Chambers . It was great to meet you, and you all performed to a very high standard. Well done. We look forward to seeing those through to the assessed mini pupillage in April!

A very good appointment indeed.

Jeremy Ogilvie-Harris Dr Charlotte Proudman Bar Standards Board Barristers can criticise. Dr Proudman went, IMHO, beyond simple criticism. Alas, I didn’t bookmark her thread but her criticisms went beyond disagreeing with the judgment and went into the realms of a personal attacks on the integrity of the judge. That, was done without any

@grey_bronwen Dr Charlotte Proudman Bar Standards Board If Dr Proudman thought there was a case of actual or apparent bias the appropriate course was an application to recuse. Or perhaps an appeal on the basis of actual/apparent bias. I believe (but I am happy to be corrected) that Dr Proudman’s team did none of these things. Dr

An interesting case that deals with the procedures concerning a Bail appeal that practitioners should read, especially those just on their feet.

Ahhh, that moment when, having mitigated that your client has finally matured and wants to settle down, he starts fighting with the dock officers. I mean proper fighting, throwing punches and in the process hits a fire alarm which results in the entire building being evacuated.

Given the tidal wave of complaints, I’m tempted to go to Stratford Mags and Woolwich CC to observe the security procedures and whether women are more thoroughly searched and “accidentally” have their intimate areas touched. I would like to record what I see to avoid any

I’ve decided there needs to be a ‘Goggling the Goggle Box-ers’ tv programme, because my husband and I need to be on it.

@CrimeGirI We are outsourcing bail decisions to the people making money from running prisons. Seems legit.

If anyone accidentally picked up my wig at Isleworth Crown Court on 13.05.24, please DM or contact my clerks 5 St Andrew's Hill My initials (JTO) are inside the wig.

What now?! And who will oversee and be responsible for this ‘triage’, which won’t be held in a public court with reps on each side?

Court Attendance Note from today: "client not brought to court because of Operation Early Dawn although listed in court 10. He may or may not be produced tomorrow. He may already be bailed. Who knows? Will have to check with cells tomorrow" #thelawisbroken

Mary Prior KC, Chair The CBA Criminal Barristers respect the Criminal Justice System and the rule of law. We act according to the law. We are independent and it is that independence which is at the heart of the work that we do. When barristers prosecute, giving a voice

The duty solicitors you have at the police station at night/weekends are the SAME people you have at court & the SAME people working all day in office hours preparing your court files. We don't have shifts or "rest days". Astonishing that this isn't widely known by police/public.

Who is going to do this ? How are they going to be funded ? What qualifications will they have? What experience of court will they have? The CBA is already losing specialist sexual offence barristers? Criminal solicitors are already stretched to breaking. So who ?
