Five days ago, my client’s cellmate tested positive for Covid-19. I notified the court. To my dismay, my client was produced today at Inner London placing all at risk.
I had to break the news to the cell staff who had spent the morning in close contact with him. Understandably they were distressed. No regard was had for their safety or the safety of other defendants and advocates in the cells.
Needless to say my client was not brought up to court and was sent swiftly back in a van. But by that point the damage had already been done #covidsecurecourts
