Government record on criminal #justice on trial 26/9/22
Government data
“Expenditure on criminal legal aid has reduced by £ 1 billion pounds since 2005/2006 (from £1.68 billion in 2005/2006 to £ 617 million in 2021/2021). This significant decline is reflected in this chart”

HHJ Raynor asked
“What then is the evidence of systemic failure and of the chronic and predictable consequences of underfunding?

“35.Treasury Annual Resource figures show a decrease of over 20% in funding for courts between 2010/11 and 2014/15, continuing through to 2019.”
Impact on victims of crime from Govt justice underfunding
HHJ Raynor cited Govt appointed @VictimsComm “criminal justice system that is severely and recklessly underfunded. And it is victims who are ultimately paying the price and will continue to suffer the longer this goes on”

In her words @VictimsComm
“little has been done to effectively tackle the enormous and catastrophic backlog of cases, particularly in the Crown Court where the most serious crimes are tried. This has exposed victims of these crimes to intolerable delay, anguish and uncertainty” ImageImage
“was notable that the former Lord Chancellor had not met with me once since February. The lack of engagement from the top at a time of great upheaval for victims reflected poorly on the Ministry of Justice’s priorities and the government’s approach” in her own words @VictimsComm ImageImage
“I am grateful to the former Secretary of State, David Gauke, and Prime Minister, Theresa May MP, for appointing me to this role. I pay tribute to the professionalism and dedication of officials and of the victims’ sector who work tirelessly to improve the position of victims” ImageImage

“In her judgment, she set out very clearly that this was a funding issue and was not a just and sufficient cause in order to extend the custody time limits for the defendant.

It is certainly Government responsibility.”

Evidence to @CommonsJustice 6/9/22 ImageImage
HHJ Pringle KC 22/9/22

7. The concern of those who practise at the Criminal Bar at the levels of remuneration for defence work has been longstanding, whether that is justified or not. As a result the government set up a complete review of criminal legal aid” ImageImageImageImage
“chaired by Sir Christopher Bellamy. In his report, dated 29th November 2021, he stated at paragraph 7.11:
“In my view the best immediate option to de with the issue of sustainability of criminal legal aid is to properly fund the present system and reform the fees structure...” Image

Just how discriminatory “Extended” Operating Hours comes from a request by a Crown Court in SW circuit to list a trial in a Hampshire Crown Court for 9am. Counsel for CPS and defence would have to take a 430am train from London to make it on time - a @TheCriminalBar thread
The only reason no date can yet be found - with judge still wanting a 9am court start no one can make (after starting work 4am and ending 11-12 the night before) is cuts to capacity in 2019/20 means no dates even for 2021 can yet be found given backlogs
The junior barrister, 3 years qualified, who tells me this, is battling and has battled against odds to come to the criminal bar - mum a single working parent, state school, hard south london estate, huge student debts - and wonders how long she can hang in just as we need her

“There is only one solution. It is money. Provide proper levels of funding for all the institutions within the system, particularly, the bar after a generation of cuts and in order that the criminal courts open and remain so”
@TheCriminalBar chair @muljam23 JamesMulhollandQC MM ImageImage
“In April 2020, the Institute for Government published a report into the Criminal Justice System... “[w]ithout subsequent additional spending, there will be bigger case backlogs – and therefore delayed justice – indefinitely”.
@TheCriminalBar chair James Mulholland QC citing IfG Image
types of cases populating the system and subject to considerable delay are important Serious cases dominate These are real people, both complainants and defendants, trapped in limbo unable to move on with their lives All are victims of a government impervious to their suffering” Image
