In support of the Criminal Bar Association's action on fees, members of Trinity Chambers' Criminal team have agreed not to accept returns in AGFS defence cases from 11th April 2022.
Members will still attend hearings in cases in which they are instructed, however they will not conduct cases that are returned to them because the instructed barrister is unavailable.
The Members and Staff understand that this action will regrettably cause some inconvenience and disruption to instructing solicitors and their lay clients and will do all that is possible to keep this to a minimum.
If you have any concerns regarding particular cases, please do not hesitate to contact a member of Trinity's Criminal Clerking team:
