The Lord Chief Justice, Lord Burnett has hosted an online event with Chief Justices from around the Commonwealth to discuss their experiences of responding to COVID-19

Chief Justices took part from Australia, The Gambia, India, Malaysia, Malawi, New Zealand, Nigeria, Singapore, Rwanda, Tanzania, Uganda and Zambia, as well as Scotland and Northern Ireland. Lord Burnett said the discussion showed ‘a rapid enhancement of the use of technology had been the only way to ensure that the wheels of justice continued to turn; and as judges, practitioners and other court users have become familiar with its use initial doubts are being dispelled’.
