‘Lockdown measures were implemented on 23rd March 2020 and, as many of you will be aware, the following day, The Bar Council issued the following guidance to barristers on attending Family (and Civil) Court hearings:
“You should not attend in person unless the hearing is genuinely urgent and it cannot be done remotely. Such a hearing will be a rare occurrence”.’
