Nice #Friday news: Judge orders release of vulnerable client at high risk from COVID. HO tried to argue judge couldn't order release at this stage; judge disagreed! HO must now find him accommodation. Great work by @PrathepanKrisha, @Suzanne_Hadi & @DoughtyStreet's @APatyna (1/2)

@TravelEnvoy @British_Airways It worked for a previous cancellation (thank you) but no longer possible. BA cancellation phone line not working. Incredibly frustrating again! Mean-spirited in highly stressful times.

A wonderful initiative for chambers and firms (and anyone else!) to support in these tough times. Please contact our @A_C_Benfield for details.

@merryVW All courts and tribunals should follow if at all possible (it is in many cases!) @HMCTSgovuk

@CPhilpOfficial I’m pregnant & advised to self-isolate. Colleague kindly covering my hearing at short notice (shouldn’t feel she has to). My partner is a crim barrister in court today in a trial with multiple defendants. Makes no sense. Need proper plan & support for the Bar, not empty slogans.
