T<\/span>he coronavirus pandemic has resulted in a torrid two years for our justice system \u2014 yet justice continues to be served.<\/p>\n

We were one of the first countries in the world to resume jury trials, and we are making real headway with the court backlog. That is down to the combined efforts of our judiciary, legal professions and court staff \u2014 so I am grateful to them for all their hard work, commitment and professionalism.<\/p>\n

The strike action proposed by the Criminal Bar Association (CBA) would only derail that team effort and I hope they will think again. The association has tried to insist that I bring forward our response to the Bellamy review into legal aid<\/a> from the end of March to mid-February.<\/p>\n
