Bar Strike Prediction

My prediction several weeks ago that the Bar strike would be called off and an announcement would be made that they are going to consider their position after the Carter review has been completed seems only to be half correct.

I have spent the week speaking to various characters that I have bumped in to. The Bar is split in to different 'circuits' representing different geographical areas of England and Wales. Apparently different circuits are taking different action. The South Eastern circuit which includes London is not going on strike but the Northern circuits are.

This strike action is not going to have an effect for a short while as it is only going to effect new cases after 3rd October 2005. It will be interesting to see what happens during the strike.
