A government consultation was published yesterday, asking for views on proposals to modernise and improve the efficiency and quality of the current court estate.
Called ‘Fit for the future: transforming the court and tribunal estate’, plans are focussed around the principles of:
Modernising the court estate – delivering some services away from traditional court and tribunal buildings, online and through virtual hearings.
Improving the efficiency of the estate by maximising the use of remaining buildings, and investing in them for the long term.
Improving the quality of court buildings for the public, judiciary and staff.
The consultation runs until 29 March.
