- Court Reports Journal NEW ISSUE - HMCTS Update - Private Client Webinar Series - Still time to book!
- Manchester Professionals Dinner Club 31st October
Barristers, solicitors and CILEX practitioners with cross-examination expertise and vulnerable witness and advocacy training are invited to register for court appointed cross-examination work in family and civil proceedings. New Domestic Abuse Act 2021 measures will prohibit alleged perpetrators of domestic abuse and their victims from cross-examining each other, with the court appointing legal practitioners in place of the prohibited parties.
From Monday 26 September 2022, the Crown Court Digital Case system (DCS) will permit the use of 3 additional Non-CPS Prosecutors: Insolvency Service, Environment Agency and Serious Fraud Office. This follows a period of successful testing and will apply to cases sent to the Crown Court on or after Monday 26 September. Find guidance and training materials for those who use DCS to access, prepare and present case information
Reminder: Criminal defence representatives should include the words “BAR ACTION” in the subject line of any email to the court about affected cases, so we can make the relevant judge aware as quickly as possible.
Every Wednesday in October we will be hosting a lunch time webinar for Private Client and related sectors.
Each session will run from 12:30 to 13:30 and will be hosted by Rebecca Clarke, Chair of our Private Client Committee, and are kindly sponsored by our friends at Shard Capital.

Your business email account is the most common entry point for criminals and is at the root of many successful cyber-attacks on lawyers. It is not surprising that the most used function in a business is the one that criminals use to exploit. What is surprising, is that the security of a firm’s email system isn’t made a higher priority.
In this summary we will describe how attacks start in order to give an insight into the key things that you need to defend against. We will also describe some common consequences of an attack to help to understand why this subject deserves real attention. Finally, we give ten top tips on how to avoid becoming a victim.
