So we have just had a email from solicitor saying my OH doesn't have to attend Crown Court tomorrow, which is his bail date. Solicitor said there was no explanation, just not required, he was listed on tomorrow's court listing. So we have absolutely no idea what happens next.

Has anybody had anything like this happen ?

Oh really, I literally posted good luck on your other post but now it's not on tomorrow, but he is on the court listings still for tomorrow?

Honestly the amount of cancellations you have had to endure is just awful

When my sons case was cancelled 3 times I had a call from his solicitor to say why it wasnt going ahead, the court had to many cases, the judge had covid it was usually around 5pm they would phone but I was at least given a reason so was able to let my son know as he was on remand

Deffinatly chase up first thing someone should be at least able to give you more details xx

I volunteer at our local law courts looking after witnesses and this happens a lot for a number of reasons, often some admin deficiency or another case taking precedence (especially if there's a trial for someone on remand as that always gets to the top of the list to be heard) This is usually in magistrates court though and for Crownl I don't have as much knowledge. What i do know is that courts are in a shambles at the moment and are trying to get through a backlog of cases with a minimum of courtrooms operating. Nothing surprises me and the human element like you are experiencing, rarely gets considered. I'm so sorry for the extra stress this is causing you. It's like psychological torture.

Sending a big hug your way.
