4) Properly funding the court estates

3) Improved contracts and contract management for the private contractors

1. The defendant not being produced at court from prison. 🚚

A classic. It happens due to the private contractors simply not bothering, knowing that the contracts negotiated by government include no meaningful penalty for failure.

Trials every day in every court are affected.

2) Properly funding the Crown Court Digital Case System and Common Platform
6. The nationwide breakdown of the Crown Court Digital Case System and/or Common Platform.

Happens pretty much weekly. All cases are now digital. When the abysmal infrastructure (which has been in Beta for years) freezes or breaks, everything grinds to a standstill.

1) Not restricting court sitting days

14. The government artificially restricting court “sitting days” - effectively closing perfectly usable courtrooms and forcing judges to stay at home, to make a tiny saving on court staff.

This happened regularly under the last government. The new lot are still doing it.

Here is a list of reasons why some of my hearings and trials this year have been delayed and kicked off into the long grass, stuck in our record court backlog. Serious allegations which will now be tried *years* after the event. 🧵👇

You'll have to ignore the buckets of anti-trans campaigning commentary in the piece, but the basic news is quite simple. The EHRC has failed to get the government to accept its anti-guidance in haste. Something is holding it up, perhaps for another a year www.thetimes.com/uk/politics/...

It’s a hideous proposal but it’s not going to happen.
