Lawyers voice fairness concerns over trial by Zoom

Updated: 03/04/2021, 5:03 pm © Darrell Benns / DCT Media Aberdeen Sheriff Court. Lawyers have spoken about fairness concerns over Aberdeen being used as a “guinea pig” for virtual hearings dubbed “trial by Zoom”. Summary trials which relate to alleged offences of a domestic nature are to be held virtually at Aberdeen Sheriff Court going forward in a bid to tackle the backlog of cases created by the pandemic. All domestic trials at the court will be held virtually, with participants appearing on webcams from various locations, unless the Crown and defence agree in advance the case is not suitable for a virtual hearing.
