Court Clerk - Announcements in Court
Dear Her Majesty's Courts and Tribunals Service,
I write in accordance with the FOI to request the following information:
1) Any documents or guides which hold the 'scripts'* to which Legal Advisers, Court Associates or Judge's Clerk use during court proceedings
* During a court hearing in the Magistrate's Court or Crown Court, the Clerk of the Court makes several announcements. These usually are said exactly the same across the board. For example, when the defendant is asked for their plea, and the Legal Adviser explains how they can elect trial in a Magistrate's Court. I am asking for the documents or training guides which hold these particular scripts - of what they say during proceedings.
I appreciate your support.
Yours faithfully,
[Name Removed]
