TSol has a programme of meeting clerks from
larger sets of Chambers each year. If you want to meet those in
TSol responsible for managing your Civil Panels (irrespective of
the size of Chambers or the number of Panel Counsel in it) then
contact Hayley Devine,
for her details see above.
It is important that Panel Counsel safeguard
information entrusted to them.
Common Security arrangements across civil litigating departments,
the CPS and Whitehall Prosecutors have been negotiated with the
Bar Council. See below for a copy of the Guidelines and a joint
letter from the Attorney General and the Chairman of the Bar Council.
We want papers going between TSol and Chambers
to go by hand, government car or DX. Please ensure that papers are
clearly addressed. Do not put papers relating to different cases
in the same envelope or box.
The Criminal Justice Secure Mail System is a relatively
secure e-mail system that we are encouraging all London and Regional
Panels to sign up to. It is free. Although originally set up for
criminal work, it is now available for the Attorney General's Civil
Panels.
Those using CJSM may from time to time receive
communications referring to use only for criminal matters. Please
ignore these. CJSM can be used for civil matters.
