74,000 UK rail fare evasion cases may be dismissed due to SJP unsuitability ruling.
74,000 UK rail fare evasion cases may be dismissed due to a ruling by Chief Magistrate Judge Goldspring, who deemed the Single Justice Procedure (SJP) unsuitable for handling such cases.

The exact number of affected passengers is uncertain, but discussions are underway for refunds.
