Episode Details

Crown courts in England and Wales face a record backlog of over 80,000 cases, a 7% increase from the previous year. The government plans to reduce jury trials to tackle delays, but victims and those awaiting justice suffer. Over 21,000 cases have been open for at least a year, with 2,600 trials not scheduled until 2028 and 29 pushed to 2030. Reforms, funding, and efficiency are being pushed to clear the backlog and deliver faster justice.
