The Civil Court Users Association (CCUA) has written to HM Courts & Tribunal Service (HMCTS) express our concern regarding the progress and direction of the court reform programme.
We have always recognised the incredible opportunity which the current reform programme potentially provides. We fully support the stated ideal of creating a court system suitable for 2050. It is for these reasons that we were originally keen to engage with Lord Briggs’ Civil Structure Review as well as continuing to be willing and able to assist and support the development of the reform project itself.
There is no doubt that the programme has already seen some positive changes. However, we are increasingly concerned.
