Civil Justice is broken – again. Tomorrow’s CCMC for a vet with severe suicidal PTSD who lacks capacity which was postponed in Jan 22 has again been postponed by a Kent court for lack of judicial time: case was issued in Jan 19. Relist CCMC late summer 23.

Trial now likely to be in 2025. Six years after issue! Two experts, two witnesses, agreed directions pretty much and one budget to be agreed. Solicitors cooperating – court can’t find time despite seriousness and need for veteran to have TF-CBT treatment after litigation.”
