Solicitors fear unwanted delays as majority of trials to be adjourned during pandemic

© DCT Media Aberdeen Sheriff Court An Aberdeen solicitor has welcomed steps to reduce trials during the pandemic but fears backlogs will increase due to the delays. Sheriff and jury trials at Aberdeen Sheriff Court were due to resume this month with officials trying to set up remote jury centres to allow hearings to take place. But now the majority of summary trials due to be heard in courts will be adjourned which will reduce the overall number of criminal trials taking place during lockdown by up to 75%. The Scottish Courts and Tribunals Service (SCTS) said all its courts will remain open but it is taking immediate steps to reduce the number of people attending from today.
