COURTS NEWS//CAMBERWELL`S VIRTUALLY NOT SO WELL

 

by TheJusticeofthePeace @ 22. Nov. 2010. – 15:16:37


Virtual Courts are controversial. The principle of having courts in police stations however the arguments are tended is not one that has met universal acclaim. The practice, as argued by proponents, would convince doubters . It has not. It seems the optimistic gloss has become tarnished. The “court” in Camberwell South London is in chaos according to a report in the Law Society Gazette. This observer considers that irrespective of practice the idea of courts ensconced in police stations does not sit well with judicial independence. I therefore look forward to the official announcement that this pilot scheme will not be a basis for future plans.
