Default Barristers Strike Over Legal Aid Fees : England & Wales

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-61946038


[Barristers will walk out of courts across
England and Wales on Monday in a
dispute over legal aid funding.
During the strikes, they will not accept
new cases or take on work for
colleagues whose cases have overrun.

The Criminal Bar Association (CBA)
said around 81.5% of its more
than 2,000 members who voted
in a ballot supported the action.

Justice Secretary Dominic Raab said
the strikes were "regrettable" and would
"only delay justice for victims".

In a statement released on the
first day of action, Mr Raab urged barristers
"to agree the proposed 15% pay rise which
would see a typical barrister earn
around £7,000 more a year".]

15% pay rise sound good.
