Those whose cases involve significant offending such as fraud, drugs offences, rape and serious violence will not form part of a new mid-tier Court. They will still be in the backlog. We hope that the Government listens to all those bodies, including the Public Accounts

On this Good Friday, while the world are remembering with admiration Prime Minister Blair’s Agreement, can we spare a thought for his other ‘achievement’, the Constitutional Reform Act 2005. Vandalism of the first water. Raab, Truss, Grayling…..
