Focus of the Day Article: Members of the Criminal Bar Association have voted in favour of an indefinite strike,
escalating the industrial action that the courts have witnessed since
June. The decision follows failed negotiations with the Ministry of
Justice, with Dominic Raab still having not met with the CBA and the
government standing firm in its position. The MoJ have expressed their
disapproval of the decision, labelling it ‘irresponsible’. The CBA,
alternatively, have accused the government of overseeing a ‘recklessly underfunded’ criminal justice system. In response to the decision, Raab has proposed granting more solicitors rights of audience,
allowing more to advocate in the Crown court. The strike is due to
commence on 5 September, coinciding with the announcement of the new
Conservative party leader. Full story - UK Human Rights Blog
