Barristers Strike - Could it impact the PRS ?

[Hudson01]

Could the strikes to come have an effect on evictions or will it have no impact at all ?

[ash72]

I'm sure it will have a knock on effect, the criminal cases currently have a backlog of 56k, and if T's require legal aid then this will impact them.

I think it is only the criminal bar which is on strike. It should not affect evictions.

if T's require legal aid then this will impact them.

Although not related to the current strike; this proposed legal aid change may have an impact on possession hearings etc. in a couple of years time:

Only the Criminal Defence Barristers that are striking.

Are they abandoning bailiffs then?
