The courts are moving more towards soft copies, but the system is still very paper heavy.
All that paperwork doesn't really have a monetary value so no scobe is really interested in stealing it. Far more interested in the content of your handbag than your banker boxes! My suit jacket was stolen in the round hall of the four courts years ago though. Fuck sake like...
I had to get my SC to apologise to the Court for appearing with no jacket. The lovely Judge Ryan peered down at the 2 barristers and said "can you gentlemen not settle this matter, and let the poor woman go home..."
;-)
It wasn't so much the monetary value I meant, but rather the consequences of a data breach if some of these confidential legal documents went missing. Like all jokes aside, I'd be amazed if some of these bundles get dropped on occasion, they look so heavy.
It just seems such a flimsy way for the law itself to treat legal documents.
Sorry to hear they stole your jacket. I'm also sorry they only took your ja... no, I'm better than that.
