A Law Society of Scotland committee has produced a paper outlining minimum requirements in terms of privacy, consistency, flexibility and quality of video conferencing facilities in anticipation of proposals to redesign and modernise summary justice in Scotland following the Evidence and Procedure Review.
The society’s Technology Law and Practice Committee has set up a working group to look at issues relating to technology in the courts.
With specific regard to the use of video conferencing, the working group recommends that a system which consistently provides a satisfactory experience for participants will have beneficial effects both for users and in terms of access to justice.
You can read the full paper here and direct any queries or comments to the secretary of the Technology Law and Practice Committee, Matthew Thomson.
