[UKA Fee Paid Judges @ukaptj]

@CEOofHMCTS Great we hope fee paid judges will get to use this given the current situation.

[Nick Goodwin @CEOofHMCTS]

I was very sad indeed to hear the news of Diane’s death – a much-loved part of the HMCTS Liverpool family, even after her retirement, and a real reminder that often those who work with us as contractors are central to what we do and how we do it. 1/2

Our contractors, from interpreters to security staff, engineers to cleaners, also play a big part in enabling courts & tribunals to continue. We applaud you tonight along with everyone else working in the justice system. @ENGIE_UK #JusticeHeroes 2/2

#HMCTS and #MoJ please put in place a coronavirus job retention scheme for #feepaidjudges #ddjs and #tribunaljudges whose sittings have been cancelled until June or are self isolating or looking after vulnerable people. So far there is nothing.

[UKA Fee Paid Judges @ukaptj]

@HMCTSgovuk Thanks please spare a thought for fee paid judges who have largely been cancelled until June #feepaidjudges

[UKA Fee Paid Judges @ukaptj]

Back in court 3 today where it all began 4yrs ago with the Judges first hearing. 1030am start time. As it’s a private hearing we can’t update until given permission but as/when we can share it will be here first. #PolicePensions
Huge thanks to all @LeighDayEmploy 👏🏻👏🏻

The Lord Chancellor affirming his support for an independent judiciary and arguing against political appointment. The primary function of the Supreme Court is not a constitutional court.

[UKA Fee Paid Judges @ukaptj]

They are still appealing....

[The National Police Association @The_NPA_UK]

provisional estimate by gov is that impact of pension challenge judgment could cost equivalent of around £4b pa. with that estimate we think they have included compensating every public sector worker they pension shafted. signed up to challenge or not. Fingers crossed 🤞

[Rob Moss @RobMoss01]

@CopsAgainst I sympathise with your point of view, however, how can the previous scheme valuations be accurate until there has been a remedy to the legal case? The valuations would have to be done again.

[The National Police Association @The_NPA_UK]

So, In making a conscious decision to ignore advice and flout equality legislation, government now seek to place the burden of its mistake on members of the pension schemes...this is no different to the commutation factor debacle and only right that Government foots the bill!!

[Nick Goodwin @CEOofHMCTS]

@Kirkabout This is kind of why we are trying to do more with technology.... happy to look at why it wasn’t used in this case if you would like (noting that if video is available there is also always a judicial decision about whether it is suitable, and that must be the right principle)
