I am conscious of the description of Covid as a massive experiment. This applies to many areas, not just the Courts Service. I am curious about the results of the experiment. My question is for both representatives from the Bar Council. I would like to hear their experiences of the impact of the changes under Covid and of virtual hearings on the administration of justice. I would like to know their experience of running a case, being involved in a case or representing somebody as a result of the changes made. Could the representatives of Victim Support at Court answer a similar question? How have they found the results of this massive experiment?
