Courts and Tribunals Bill: Further to consider the Bill

Parliamentary debate

Parliament is continuing detailed scrutiny of the Courts and Tribunals Bill in General Committee, where MPs examine clauses and propose amendments. This stage focuses on the technical provisions governing how courts and tribunals operate, their administration, and potentially their reform.

This bill affects the entire judicial system and access to justice for millions of people. Changes to courts and tribunals structure, funding, and procedure impact criminal defendants, civil claimants, legal professionals, and court staff across the country. It also has financial implications for local court services and case backlogs.
