[The CBA @TheCriminalBar]

Today 1 in 6 available Crown Courts
shut
we don’t have enough judges
Human cost:
Only last Friday a large regional Crown Court told all parties a “fixture will be broken” due today
Not just any last minute hearing postponement
It’s a trial for
“long-ago-fixed 3-handed murder”

“we are informed the fixture will be broken because there is no judge to try it and on the face of it no court either. Witnesses, defendants, solicitors, Counsel etc., as we all know are irrelevant…”

£73.757m 2022/3

No wonder the real crimes backlog to try in court is over
67,500

Govt signed to pay total £370m for 5year Rwanda scheme

@benonwine Depends on whose definition of « fitness to work » is adopted. A fresh faced unqualified desk jockey, or a medical professional?
