The Lord Chancellor commissioned Former President of the Queen’s Bench Division, Sir Brian Leveson, to carry out an independent review into the criminal courts. Specifically, the review considered two key themes, which are outlined in the Terms of Reference (ToR) as follows:
- Reform: how the criminal courts could be reformed to ensure cases are dealt with proportionately, in light of the current pressures on the Crown Court
- Efficiency: how they could operate as efficiently as possible. This should include consideration of the processes of partner agencies where they impact the criminal courts
The Review has now published Part 1 and 2 of the report.
