We are coming up to the 5th anniversary of the closure of Blackfriars Crown Court. One of the most modern, accessible courts in London. It sits empty and rotting. Sometimes, the metaphors are too obvious.

@phatsilk_qc Imagine surgeries being scheduled like this…your appointment is on x date, but when you get here, we won’t have an operating theatre or surgeon for you…

A Fixed Floater is not something to be found in the toilet. What it means with regards to the listing of trials is anyone’s guess.

[Idle Courts @CourtsIdle]

News from XX Crown Court.

“The above case is currently listed... on the 9th December 2024.
Unfortunately the Court is unable to accommodate this Trial due to Court availability at this time.
The Trial can now be facilitated on the 11th October 2027 as a Fixed Floater.”

@JennettEmily Ede & Racenscroft, women’s shop. You could call them ‘after Paddy’ (Paddy Campbell) as PC no longer do suiting, but thankfully E & R do.

@silver_nadia @JoMoore_ @DefenceFaithful Why, now this would clearly be an improvement

[Azza Brown @Azza_Brown]

@JoMoore_ @silver_nadia @DefenceFaithful I’m going to have words with Ede, see if we can’t get some of these bad boys made!

[Azza Brown @Azza_Brown]

@silver_nadia @DefenceFaithful That’s an improvement on the way some wear their wigs on court.

[Azza Brown @Azza_Brown]

Welcome! I’m delighted for all of you, and know you will carve out a great career at the Bar.
