Courts and Tribunals Bill: Further to consider the Bill

Parliamentary debate

The Commons General Committee is continuing detailed scrutiny of the Courts and Tribunals Bill. This Bill will reform how courts and tribunal services operate across England and Wales, covering judicial administration, case management procedures, and the structure of court systems. The committee stage allows MPs to examine, debate, and amend specific clauses before the Bill proceeds to further readings.

This Bill affects the justice system that millions of people access annually—from criminal defendants and victims to civil litigants and employment tribunal users. Changes to court administration and tribunal procedures impact access to justice, case delays, and the cost of using courts, with consequences for the effectiveness of the entire legal system.
