Focus of the Day Law Article: Criminal defence solicitors in Wales are being forced to attend court
in person while prosecutors are allowed to appear via video link, firms
have claimed in an open letter to HM Courts & Tribunals Service.
A group of 12 firms based in South Wales alleges that applications
for defence advocates to appear remotely via the Cloud Video Platform
(CVP) are being routinely refused. In contrast, the Crown Prosecution
Service is ‘generally appearing remotely and it would seem this is
treated as a given, without individual applications having to be made.’” Full story - The Law Society Gazette
Today's Highlighted Video Story: The man responsible for three murders and a series of court-related bombings in Sydney in the 1980s will die in prison for his "calculated, violent and hateful" attacks.
The so-called Family Court bomber, Leonard John Warwick, has been sentenced to life in jail, without parole, for the three murders.
Warwick's attacks took place between 1980 and 1985 and were motivated by a bitter feud with his ex-wife.
In his sentencing today, Supreme Court Justice Peter Garling said Warwick's crimes "cannot be viewed as anything other than an attack on the very foundations of Australian democracy".
