Most hearings will not take place on Monday 19 September 2022, following the announcement that Her Majesty The Queens State Funeral will be on this day, which will be a national bank holiday.
As previously agreed, however, urgent hearings, including overnight custody cases will continue in consultation with the judiciary. Where possible, and in consultation with the relevant judiciary, well seek to list these types of hearings either side of the funeral.
Well adjourn cases where defendants have been remanded in custody to appear in court on the day of the funeral to the next available date. Well contact all parties and inform them of their new hearing date and venue. All our venues including the Royal Courts of Justice, Crown Courts, County Courts, Civil and Family Courts, magistrates courts, tribunals, business centres and Service Centres will close to the public as a mark of respect.
All court and tribunal users can use the Royal Familys online provision for books of condolence.
