Focus of the Day Article: A family judge has imposed emergency measures in Berkshire and Oxfordshire, ordering lawyers to stay at home if possible – despite the government claiming courts will continue to ‘operate normally’. In an email seen by the Gazette, the designated family judge for Berkshire said all suitable hearings should be conducted via video link, Skype or telephone.
