@mikelavelle93 @Joanna__Hardy Is there a pothole in his drive?
@HMCTSgovuk Beachwear, fancy dress or clothing with offensive images or slogans is not appropriate. That’s a pretty low bar. In Malta, I was turned away from court when wearing (presentable) shorts.
@CPSUK You don’t mention the fair and independent acquittals.
@HMCTSgovuk @MoJGovUK We’ve got lots round here. But not enough court rooms, legal advisers, ushers, and cells.
@HMCTSgovuk @MoJGovUK Excellent news. Good luck to all. Where will they all sit?
@1kbwChambers He retired on 13th. Good that this wasn’t announced until 15th otherwise it might have looked grubby.
@SkyNews Heartening to hear a prime minister speak about the rule of law.
@benjamin_ldh @TheCriminalBar @MoJGovUK Please tell us where. It’s with publicity it might get fixed.
@Joanna__Hardy @DavidLammy At the moment we can’t find a recorder to sit at our court next week so a rape trial is going to have to be pulled
@JudgeDillard @Joanna__Hardy @DietCoke_Esq Or get your device to read it aloud to you.
@Joanna__Hardy You’re too kind but I’m happy where I am, battling the backlog. Mind you… a canteen would be nice… and a shop selling merch… and a press office… and a chief exec… and the same number of cases a year that we normally deal with in a week…
@TomEvans80 @Barristerblog But the Judge comes free.
@Joanna__Hardy @ShipleyWrites More (complex) legislation. More offences. More evidential inferences. Much more complex legal directions needing prep and discussion in advance and printing. A desire to charge every possible offence. Pre-recorded evidence in chief. More offenders so more to be sentenced.
@Joanna__Hardy @TheCriminalBar Well, my fellow jurors, he must have a massive record because it doesn’t seem very serious but he’s being tried in the top tier court with a jury. Stands to reason…
@RealRoyalMail With the household or not?
@Joanna__Hardy @emilydugan Unusual for Leverson to lose in Liverpool….
@TonyDowson5 It goes to show how very lucky the people of Luton are to have a judge who produces rulings of this calibre.
@MAMBarLife @CourtsIdle At the risk of sounding as though I live in a cardboard box in the centre of the motorway, I’ll raise you late defendants, no dock officers, not enough cell space and not enough clerks. Other than that, young Mr Grace would have said we were all doing very well.
