flag Former judge Sir Brian Leveson proposes reforms to tackle UK's 76,957-case court backlog.

flag Former senior judge Sir Brian Leveson has proposed major reforms to the UK court system to address a record backlog of 76,957 cases in crown courts. flag The reforms aim to save 9,000 sitting days annually by reducing jury trials, resolving more cases outside of court, and introducing a new Crown Court Bench Division for trials. flag Defendants pleading guilty early would receive a 40% sentence discount. flag The Justice Secretary will consider these recommendations ahead of potential legislative changes in the autumn.
