The consultation for the proposed court closures ends on 15 September. There is no action being taken by the professional bodies so it really is every court for itself and of course i couldn't just stand back and let the Tory govt close 103 magistrates courts and 54 county court without a challenge. I have been informed that there is room for some courts to remain open if there is support for them, so support your local court if it vital to access to justice in your community.
I've worked with the editor of the the Solicitors Journal and with the intervention of a judge as well, i think we have drafted a temple letter to be used by campaigners who want to 'save the courts'.
