MODERN COURTS

The Justice Committee has launched an inquiry into the implications of the £1bn package of reforms proposed to modernise courts. The project, Transforming Our Justice System, was outlined in a 'vision paper' published in 2016 but the government has struggled to convince lawyers and court users. 'We are worried about the access to justice implications', said committee chair Bob Neill. The enquiry is open to written submissions until 11 March 2019.
