This morning I was at court when stopped in an enclosed area by a journalist not social distancing. To be honest I felt uncomfortable at his approach and manner. He asked for my first name (he already had my last name and could get further details from court clerks.) 1/4
My client and probation who were already waiting, so I chose to prioritise them and declined to engage further, believing he already had sufficient information to identify me. I am genuinely sorry if there was anything wrong in this or any miscommunication. 2/4
