Deferred
Lack of coherence and consistency in remote hearing access for public and media.
Conclusion
Remote hearings are still a relatively new and innovative feature of the justice system in England and Wales. The evidence to our inquiry suggests that there is a problem with a lack of coherence and consistency in relation to the ability of the media and the public to access remote court hearings.
