The lawyers group is considering taking action against Attorney General Allyson Maynard-Gibson over the removal of the stenographers and the instruction to magistrates to take handwritten notes for the meantime. Digital recording is due to start later in 2014. Lawyer Murrio Ducille said: ‘Matters are being adjourned, but some magistrates are proceeding with trials despite the reasoned objections by defence counsel on instructions from their clients. This has created some disquiet among some magistrates who see our assertion of our client’s right to a fair trial as a hindrance in what they are required to do... to make an accurate recording of the evidence and legal arguments in the proceeding... no more, no less.’ Source: Tribune242
