UK's new Attorney General Richard Hermer KC re-examines "secret justice" CMPs, addressing concerns raised in the Ouseley review and potential improvements.

Richard Hermer KC, appointed as the UK's Attorney General, is re-examining Closed Material Procedures (CMPs), also known as "secret justice." CMPs pose challenges and frustrations in cases subject to them, and the Ouseley review, published prior to the dissolution of Parliament, highlighted the need for proper support for Special Advocates. The previous government rejected several recommendations from the Ouseley report. The new Attorney General and Secretary of State for Justice are urged to address these concerns and improve the operation of CMPs.
