The Government’s position is that the new Crown court bench division will be a single judge only. Leveson said that magistrates would “bring local community values and a measure of local accountab…”

“It has been the gold standard in the employment tribunal system for a very long time that there is a judge and one member who is drawn from a traditionally employer background and one who is drawn from a traditionally trade union background. They are both lay, but there is absolutely considered to be good-quality decis…”
