Hi,

CJC has launched a Rapid Consultation: The impact of COVID-19 measures on the civil justice system -

“The CJC has commissioned an independent review led by Dr Natalie Byrom, Director of Research at The Legal Education Foundation with the support of a wider virtual working group to gather feedback on the impact of COVID measures on the civil justice system.

This review will run for two weeks from Friday 1 May to Friday 15 May in order to report by 22 May 2020. The aim of the review is to provide an overview of the operation of current measures and offer practical recommendations to inform the ongoing response to COVID. It will concentrate on the experience and reaction of court users. It will also provide useful ground work for any future wider review of the use of remote hearings, identifying areas where further evidence may be needed.”

I understand from Dr. Natalie Byrom that CJC are particularly interested in the expereince of remote hearings.
