What a relief to read common sense proposals for dealing with the back log problem effectively without the serious effect of denying jury trials. Thank you!
I entirely agree with the suggestion that we should increase Judges sitting days, courts are currently restricted as to the use of Recorders, I practice in Bristol our courts are often under utilised because of these restrictions.
A further issue that needs to be addressed is ensuring prisoners are produced to court in a timely fashion which. Is often not the case, this has the effect of adding days if not weeks to the length of a trial.
Thanks you, Ian. Failure to deliver prisoners to court on time or bring them into the dock was a concern raised by the chair of the bar when I interviewed her this month: https://rozenberg.substack.com/p/principled-and-pragmatic
