ALL JURY trials in England and Wales will be put on hold as part of the ongoing efforts to halt the spread of Covid-19.
In a statement on Monday, the Lord Chief Justice Lord Burnett said no new trials will start and that ongoing trials will be paused while arrangements are put in place so they can continue safely.
The Press has contacted York Crown Court for confirmation.
