The SSBA is disappointed to have to announce a further escalation in the ongoing dispute between the criminal bar and @scotgov. None of us want to leave clients unrepresented, but the lack of engagement from @AshtenRegan leaves us little choice...

It is clear that a generation of underfunding is leading to the collapse of the criminal bar, and yet the silence from @KeithBrownSNP and @AshtenRegan is deafening. #WeTurnedUp #DefendLegalAid

A thread on how duty cases are being dealt with in Aberdeen. Very concerning given there is a statutory duty upon the Scottish Legal Aid Board to provide representation at an appearance on undertaking

Dozens of solicitors braved the icy conditions outside the Scottish Parliament today to protest against @ScotGovJustice continuing failure to address the crisis in criminal legal aid. The protest coincides with a mass boycott of holiday custody courts all over the country.

The SSBA are concerned by developments at Edinburgh Sheriff Court today. Our representative attended to ensure custodies were aware of our action and their right to self-represent, and was asked by @SCTScourtstribs to leave the building.

Livingston Sheriff Court. An empty lawyers room with empty gowns. A scene that will become more common place unless we are listened to. Today brings a sense of pride and regret. Pride in our profession who have unified in the face of adversity like never before. Pride from...

@ScotGovJustice @HumzaYousaf @ScotsLegalAid @ashtenRD @ScotGovFairer We welcome the acknowledgement that change is required, but we are deeply concerned that what is featured in the secondary legislation falls far short of what was promised, and in many aspects represents a significant reduction in rates. Urgent further discussion is required.

[Edinburgh Bar Assoc. @EdinBarAssoc]

We took part in a frank discussion with @HumzaYousaf and @ashtenRD along with various other interested parties and Bar associations today. We look forward to seeing where these discussions take us within the next two weeks. #defendlegalaid
