Apology to Luke McLean comes after similar incident involving barrister Alexandra Wilson
The courts service in England and Wales has been forced to apologise for a second time in three months after a barrister of colour was mistaken for a defendant twice in one day.
Pupil barrister Luke McLean was assumed to be the defendant at a London magistrates court last week, when he asked a member of the courtroom staff if the boards listing the day’s cases were accurate as his client was not on the list.
