He stated that the court would be sending out over 100,000 emails to legal professionals, which is not only ineffective but also potentially damaging. He argued that the court’s primary concern should be the delivery of justice rather than creating a public relations exercise. He also highlighted that bulk emails can be seen as spam and may be marked as spam by recipients, potentially leading to them being deleted or ignored. This criticism was echoed by a number of legal professionals, including Emma Taylor, a solicitor who stated that bulk emails can be seen as a lazy way to communicate and that the court’s efforts to contact legal professionals were not worth the cost. They also expressed concerns that the court’s actions would be perceived as a publicity stunt rather than a genuine attempt to reach out to legal professionals. The court’s decision to use bulk emails was widely reported in the legal press, and it was noted that the court had not provided any explanation for why it had chosen this method of communication. This lack of transparency and the perceived frivolity of the approach were seen as particularly noteworthy. The use of bulk emails by a UK court has significant implications for the way legal professionals communicate with the judiciary. It raises questions about the effectiveness of this method of communication, the cost of such actions, and the potential for creating a negative perception of the court among legal professionals.
