		<description><![CDATA[&#34;The rhetoric of the English legal system is that justice must be seen to be done so why are the public forbidden – under threat of jail – from recording a verbatim account of proceedings? Not only that, rules are so opaque and obscure that court reporters struggle to report cases with any degree of accuracy or depth. And that is when there is a reporter in court, which these days is a rarity – there used to be 25 reporters covering national courts for the Press Association; by 2009 there were only four. ... The simple answer is to allow tape recorders for all: no party is disadvantaged and an ‘official’ recording is there for checking.&#34;]]></description>
