Details

The Lord Chancellor commissioned Former President of the Queen’s Bench Division, Sir Brian Leveson, to carry out an independent review into the criminal courts. Specifically, the review considered 2 key themes, which are outlined in the Terms of Reference (ToR) as follows:

  • Reform: how the criminal courts could be reformed to ensure cases are dealt with proportionately, in light of the current pressures on the Crown Court
  • Efficiency: how they could operate as efficiently as possible. This should include consideration of the processes of partner agencies where they impact the criminal courts

The review has published part 1 of the report.
