Barristers strike all over the UK: system is not ‘properly funded’. Barristers across the country are staging court walkouts for several days in a dispute over legal aid funding. They are refusing to accept new cases and to carry out “return work” – stepping in and picking up court hearings and other work for colleagues whose cases are overrunning. The Criminal Bar Association (CBA), which represents barristers in England and Wales, said around 81.5% of the more than 2,000 members to vote in the ballot supported walking out of court.
