Recommendation 20

20 Paragraph: 66

In-person advocate attendance often crucial for serious Crown Court cases.

Conclusion
The Committee recognises the advantages for advocates to attend remotely; however, it is important to recognise that in Crown Court cases dealing with the most serious cases, it will often be in the interests of justice for advocates to attend in person.
