COURT DELAYS

Dec 15 | 2020
    Probate Delays Impact Annual Issued Probate Grants   Due to Covid-19, many Court hearings are taking months to list trials, in fact, some will take years. There are criminals who may find they are 'let off' the crime because the witnesses and/or victims are too stressed with the delays to continue to peruse the matter; this is particularly relevant with domestic violence matters and rape; there are also defendants awaiting a hear the outcome of a trial who are innocent and the delays caused to them are horrendous. It is not just in the criminal courts, but also in the civil Courts where the delays are having a catastrophic effect on peoples lives and indeed livelihoods; if you are owed money and you depend on the money being received (especially in 2020), it may take months even years before your case is listed, and conversely if you do not owe the amount being claimed, having that threat over you for such a long period of time can caused untold anxiety and mental health issues. If you are worried about a contract dispute and you want it settled out of Court, there are other means of achieving this; we are happy to put your mind at rest and help and support you during this very difficult time.
