Courts and Tribunals Bill: Further to consider the Bill

Committee hears from witnesses

The General Committee is reconvening to continue detailed scrutiny of the Courts and Tribunals Bill. This session will examine further clauses and provisions of the legislation, which reforms the structure, operation, and administration of England's court system and tribunal services.

This Bill will substantially reshape how justice is administered across England, affecting access to courts, case management, tribunal procedures, and the efficiency of dispute resolution. Changes will impact citizens seeking justice, legal professionals, court staff, and businesses involved in litigation.
