News update regarding the Public Service Association “Protest Rally”, 29 October 2008
In relation to the Public Service Association “Protest Rally”, the Law Society of NSW has just been advised that many correctional centres in NSW will only be operating with minimal staff. Unavoidably, the only court escorts that can proceed, in the circumstances, will be those involving inmates in District or Supreme Court trials. Inmates that were required to attend the Local Court or District Court for other matters will be relisted by the courts concerned. Matters where inmates were required to attend by way of Audio Visual Link will also be relisted. Any legal practitioners wishing to visit their clients on 29 October 2008 are advised to contact the relevant correctional centre to verify that legal visits can proceed. |
