The closure of Northwich’s courthouse could have a much deeper economic effect on the town as a whole, according to Dominic Moss, senior partner of the Personal Injury Practice.
Dominic said that the closure of the magistrates’ and county court, recently announced by the Ministry of Justice, will not just affect criminals and their victims.
“People locally may think it does not affect them but it’s not just the person involved in litigation or in criminal proceedings,” he said.
“It’s another nail in the coffin of Northwich as a thriving market town. I used to put barristers up in the Floatel and at Nunsmere Hall. They would all stay in local hotels and would eat in local restaurants – now they won’t.”
Dominic said that one of the main reasons for opening the Personal Injury Practice in Northwich was because the county court was based in town. “Anyone looking to set up a law firm may think twice about setting up where there’s no court.”
