Edwin Glasgow OBE QC and the Hon Mr Justice Edwin Cameron

What can the law do about the pandemic’s impact on those entitled to its protection? In this first episode, Edwin Glasgow QC and the Hon Mr Justice Edwin Cameron reflect on how the present pandemic might impact access to justice in the UK, South Africa and around the world.  They consider the legal system’s ability to deal with the backlog of existing disputes and the large influx of new disputes which will arise as a result of interruptions to commercial obligations. Might there be alternatives to the traditional adversarial approach so well-entrenched in our legal systems?
