I made a post yesterday on this but it disappeared. Not sure if it was taken down? I won't post the whole thing down as it was a bit long. But it was basically about how I've found remote hearings to be a negative experience overall and I was wondering how everybody else has found them? I've had mine by phone call so far, using BT Meet Me. Still got a resolution hearing to go (it was meant to be yesterday but it's been postponed as my ex didn't answer the call - just one of many issues of remote hearings in my opinion).
I found this document yesterday reagrding the pros and cons of remote hearings (mainly cons!) and in a way, it was comforting to know I'm not the only one who dislikes them and finds them problematic. Even judges, solicitors, and barristers are saying this.
The bulk of the document starts at section 3. There's a lot of it, so I'd recommend skimming through and finding what's relevant to you:

No idea why that happened - it's back again now π
