Remote Justice? Access to courts and tribunals during the pandemic

This event will be run via Zoom. It will last for 90 minutes with a 10-minute mini-break in the middle. Our Zoom privacy policy is here.

All participants will be emailed joining instructions no later than noon, April 8th.

The Coronavirus pandemic and subsequent Government advice on social distancing has led to sudden changes across the Courts and Tribunals system in England and Wales, including a move, in some cases, to remote hearings.  This event convenes an expert panel to discuss:

• State of play currently in the courts system, including an overview of which courts are offering remote hearings and which are suspended
• Issues arising from new guidance on court access and use
• User experiences, and
• Headline concerns, opportunities and learning.

Panellists:

Matt Ahluwalia, Public Law Project
Natalie Byrom, The Legal Education Foundation
Jo Hynes, Public Law Project and University of Exeter
Professor Celia Kitzinger, Cardiff University and ‘support friend’
Emma Marshall, Public Law Project and University of Exeter University
Simon Mullings, Edwards Duthie Shamash
