Please see link to the Lord Chief Justice’s announcement this morning with regards to court arrangements:

Review of court arrangements due to COVID-19, message from the Lord Chief Justice

We are seeking urgent clarification as to what this means in practice, especially with regards to arrangements in the Magistrates’ Court.
In the meantime, we would advise that firms and individual solicitors undertake their own risk assessments on a case by case basis until the position is made clear.
Your health and safety is paramount.
Thanks
Kerry
LCCSA President
