Summary
New numbers reveal the ongoing barristers strikes impact on nearly two thousand criminal cases, with over three hundred trials, eleven hundred arraignments, and two hundred fifty plea and sentencing hearings disrupted since January. The human cost is significant, with victims and witnesses lives put on hold and public safety concerns raised. Politicians and the Justice Minister are urged to find a resolution, as the impact is widespread, affecting everything from minor offenses to serious crimes. The Criminal Bar Association acknowledges the impact, stating the withdrawal of services was a last resort due to years of inaction from the Department of Justice. Decisions on recommendations from an accelerated review are expected soon. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
