9KBW supports the CBA with No Returns in AGFS Criminal Cases.
9KBW fully supports the Criminal Bar Association's position that neither the level of remuneration offered nor the government’s proposed timetable for implementation represent an adequate response to the crisis that has enveloped the criminal Bar following years of inadequate funding of the criminal justice system.
Accordingly, and in line with the result of the CBA ballot, members of these chambers will not be accepting returns for AGFS criminal cases to be heard on or after 11th April.
Chambers will keep solicitors and the courts fully informed of the position. If you have any queries, please do not hesitate to contact a member of our clerking team.
