And they’ll probably completely contradict what was said in the announcement!

If they could stop news leaking out like a sieve they would have the time to prepare.

Was thinking this felt familiar!

Leaks are probably deliberate.

  1. Soften the blow.
  2. Prep news coverage.
  3. Test the water with reaction. If it goes down like a lead balloon they can always release something entirely different ‘officially’ and tell us off for being silly and listening to unofficial leaks.

That is the way of things and always has been.

The Unions, unsurprisingly, are calling for some time off to!

The joke is that most of the courts have been sitting remotely for months. Except for a few where the judges are refusing to allow lawyers to attend remotely because they ‘want to see them in the building.’
Which means the lawyer’s room at one regional 2 court centre, is now often busier than the 10 court centre 35 miles down the road. It’s ridiculous.
