Courts and Tribunals Bill: Further to consider the Bill

Parliamentary debate

The Commons General Committee is continuing detailed consideration of the Courts and Tribunals Bill. This stage involves line-by-line scrutiny of the legislation, allowing MPs to propose amendments and debate specific provisions that will reshape how courts and tribunal systems operate across England and Wales.

This Bill affects access to justice for millions of people and the operation of the entire court and tribunal infrastructure. Changes to court procedures, tribunal composition, or case management systems will impact how disputes are resolved, legal aid availability, and the efficiency of the criminal and civil justice systems that the public depends on.
