The new President of the Supreme Court, Lady Hale, when addressing the Oxford Centre for Islamic Studies, regretted that the Lord Chief Justice had not published guidelines which had been promised two years ago !
Lady Hale wants no Veils in Courts of Law because they hide the demeanour of witnesses when they testify. But, the ultimate definition should not be limited only to Veils or Islamic Veils ! Nothing should ever impair the visual appearance of witnesses.
Lady Hale is right to insist that Guidelines are required. They would help to prevent costly technical interuptions in court !
