The Bar Council, Law Society and CILEx leaders marked Justice Week (1-5 March) by calling for ‘a vital health check on our rights, our justice system and ultimately on the rule of law’.
They said citizens, from those at risk of domestic violence to people living in care homes, have struggled to access justice during the COVID-19 pandemic while courts and tribunals had to embrace remote hearings almost overnight.
They invited the public to join legal and rights experts to debate the disruption of last year and what it means for access to justice and civil liberties.
