Can we improve trial readiness?

Analysis of the MoJ’s most recent data (published last month) reveals:

343 trials were cancelled during the first six months of 2025 due to “prosecution not ready”;

•174 of these trials were cancelled on their first day between April and June 2025 for the same reason;

•76 of these were sexual offence cases, including 36 adult rape trials.
