Description
Scotland’s high courts are drowning in complex cases—organized crime and historic abuse—that have nearly tripled backlogs, delaying justice for victims, witnesses, and defendants alike. While less serious cases are being cleared faster through smart reforms, the surge in serious trials threatens to overwhelm the system, risking witness dropouts and prolonged trauma. Officials warn more funding and innovation are urgently needed to keep the wheels of justice turning.
