Lawyers have warned that coronavirus measures operating in court buildings will not stop the new variant of the virus from spreading.
The Glasgow Bar Association said that insufficient adaptations had been made to interview facilities at court and in the dock and that there are not enough places where lawyers can discuss matters with their clients “privately and safely in the current pandemic”.
The organisation voiced concerns after Scotland’s most senior judge Lord Carloway urged people entering court buildings to follow coronavirus rules to ensure that the administration of justice can continue safely.
