Circuit Judge

CJ trying to stay positive. Nothing serious

[Circuit Judge @CircuitJudgeSE]

@JohnHyde1982 Do you really want to know? Try the wall at Guildford Mags/county court that was broken by a drunk driver about 3 years ago. And the broken gate mechanism into the car park that means a security guard is paid to man the gates whilst (18 months on) a replacement part sought

@FamilyJusticeQ1 Can you tell us how we can join please ?

[Circuit Judge @CircuitJudgeSE]

@childrenlawyer When my daughter criticises me, she starts the sentence with the word ‘Lovingly...’ I’ve often used it in court by mistake....but realised that there are worse ways of telling people that I am displeased

[Circuit Judge @CircuitJudgeSE]

@8BallPete @CivilLitTweet Was this high court? Ask the judge’s clerk?

[Circuit Judge @CircuitJudgeSE]

@CivilLitTweet Bring an extension cord! The way that the courts are now configured means that the plug for your laptop could be far away! And bring lunch.

@TringLawyer @AnEngin77490597 @AdamWagner1 CVP is being rolled out imminently by HMCTS. Cloud based.

[Circuit Judge @CircuitJudgeSE]

@childrenlawyer If only everyone cross examining followed a ‘preconceived line of inquiry’. Sadly, a thing of rare beauty.

@JoDQC @LOU15E_96 We’ve watched as a magpie has taken the ducklings off our pond today. We started with 12 ducklings last week. Down to 4 in spite of our best efforts.

@mikewil75933421 Not so..... the bundles need to be broken down into smaller chapters. Or zip files?

[Circuit Judge @CircuitJudgeSE]

Before demanding a paper bundle, please remember the young, under-paid, economically weak trainee/paralegal who has to break isolation and go into an unhygienic office to print off your documents. Suggest every judge and lawyer takes this opportunity to learn about e-bundles!

@Wigapedia @rimalu35 @e_acheson My favourite was the solicitors in Bedford Row, Smiles & Co. Their telegraphic address was ‘Mirth, London’.

[Circuit Judge @CircuitJudgeSE]

@katy_kmr Staff told clearly no fee required. No formal application needed. Take it higher.

[Circuit Judge @CircuitJudgeSE]

@robinparker_plg @Familoo Court staff before a case always inform those unable to stand not to do so. Simple.

[Circuit Judge @CircuitJudgeSE]

@byron_barrister Huge Congratulations!!! Fantastic news

[Circuit Judge @CircuitJudgeSE]

@HMCTSgovuk So why have so many courts had their kitchen facilities closed in the last 5 years??

[Circuit Judge @CircuitJudgeSE]

@mikerflinn @seethrujustice @Richard25666541 @SVPhillimore Yes. Why aren’t these pre-issue? More use than a one sided Miam

[Circuit Judge @CircuitJudgeSE]

@peternewman79 Oh my word. Perfectly catches the agony of the incompetent questions and the evasive answers. Too familiar

[Circuit Judge @CircuitJudgeSE]

@Familoo Don’t blame the judge. Remember that they have to decipher the rubbish spelling and writing of the dodgy usher of the day. I suggest that you grab the pen and clipboard and write it clearly in your own fair hand!

[Circuit Judge @CircuitJudgeSE]

@neill_bob @CommonsJustice Half the courts in my county have been closed. The ‘public consultation’ ignored our objections. Surprise surprise, we now have a shortage of court rooms.

[Circuit Judge @CircuitJudgeSE]

@peternewman79 This is very interesting: but how sad that the Judges, who introduced FDRs into the court system, no longer have the time to conduct them in a way that inspires confidence.
