Dj David Oldham
I vowed when I took up office as president of the Association of Her Majesty’s District Judges last March that my mission was to persuade the government to return to funding our civil courts to a realistic level and, as the recession brings more and more individuals to the county courts, to ensure that all of those who need it have access to free and efficient expert advice and assistance from a duty solicitor or CAB or other advice agency which is independent of HM Courts Service.
