Fascinating thread on twitter about the problematic nature of The Equal Treatment Benchbook used by judges and the consequences of those problems.

I saw that comment - Tish has done a splendid job of following-up on it.

I've read this several times now and the lack of transparency about the lobbying and degree of cognitive capture do not get easier to read.

Thanks op.

Thanks for bringing this up OP, it's a huge problem in the courts. How can judges be unbiased when having to follow these guidelines? Ridiculous!

Slighly dispiriting that judges, as opposed to magistrates, need this teachers answer book to tell them how to run a court.
