I was unable to post yesterday as I was on my travels – again PR training in Yorkshire. (To an interesting town where the 5 PR results we are aware of do not reflect our judgement of real quality).
Anyhow that aside the Gazette’s front page story is the same one we ran earlier in the week. My chats with people suggest it is a “work to rule” rather than a strike (isn’t the Law Societies advice that a strike is illegal?). The article contains some very apposite quotes (that from Brian Craig should be especially of concern for Carter proponents) and some of the comments here are likewise interesting.
Will try and post on VHCC, which is very interesting to a Legal Aid anorak like me, later but I have just been asked to prepare two Crown Court re-determinations with today as a deadline.
UPDATE
Andy is in a “striking” rather than working to rule town today!
FURTHER UPDATE
Apparently the LSC have been trying to entice Bradford Duty Solicitors to break the Leeds “strike” and have been successful in getting someone local to us, to cover in Hull. Any more details can be placed in the comments box.
