Criminal barristers walked out of the Central Criminal Court of Old Bailey in central London on Monday, June 27, 2022 - as they began their strike in a row over legal aid fees.
The Criminal Barristers Association (CBA) says the offer of a 15% uplift in fees is insufficient and is calling for a 25% rise to make up for years of funding cuts. (VX Photo/ Vudi Xhymshiti)
