Prof Michael Zander QC in @NewLawJournal on "vexed" issue of remote legal representation in #police#PACE interviews. Reports concerns over legality of Joint Interim Interview Protocol arising from @DoughtyStPublic@JBennathan QC's advice for @fairtrials.

Protocol allowing remote access has outlived its purpose, and we urge lawyers to get back in police stations as soon as possible.
Read our letter to JIIP signatories @MaxHillQC @NickEphgraveMPS:

Our report with @TransformJust1 & @AA_NAAN exposed that children and vulnerable adults in custody received inadequate legal assistance because of in-person restrictions, undermining their fair trial rights (3/4)
A legal opinion obtained by Fair Trials suggests that lawyers and police acted unlawfully during #COVID19, effectively changing the law on accessing lawyers in police custody, with no power to do so (2/4)
