Court cases across the UK are set for more serious disruption as barristers plan an indefinite strike set to start on September 5.
The strike is part of ongoing disputes that began in June 2022 over pay and working conditions between the Criminal Bar Association (CBA) and the government.
The walkout is designed to draw attention to the long hours worked and little pay received by criminal defence barristers, as they cope with a justice system straining at the seams.
