COVID-19: ‘Remote’ justice update – Louise Hodges quoted in New Law Journal

Louise Hodges, Head of Kingsley Napley's Criminal Litigation team, is quoted in New Law Journal on the concerns among those working in the criminal justice system in light of COVID-19.

Louise said:

The various agencies are not able to provide the assurances that they have conducted proper risk assessments or that buildings and facilities, including court rooms, custody suites, cells or secure transport, are deep cleaned to sufficient standards to ensure the safety of individuals. It is probably to be expected now that non-essential trials will be delayed."
