- Reminder: Were hosting a number of drop-in support sessions for defence professionals. The sessions will aim to answer defence solicitors and barristers queries who use Common Platform. Registration is now open for sessions taking place between 9am and 10am on Monday 22 August 2022, Wednesday 14 September 2022 and Monday 19 September 2022.
- Reminder: Criminal defence representatives should include the words BAR ACTION in the subject line of any email to the court about affected cases, so we can make the relevant judge aware as quickly as possible.
Family
- Reminder: Applying for financial remedy applications on MyHMCTS has recently been improved. Legal professionals can now add themselves and replace existing representatives whenever necessary, making it easier to cover periods of annual leave. Improvements have also been made to the way documents are managed and Form C has been updated to include the efficiency statement and references to the Domestic Abuse Act 2021. More information on how to use the financial remedy service check our guidance on MyHMCTS. For detailed guidance on submitting an application watch our demonstration on YouTube.
