Recommendation 2

2 Accepted Paragraph: 14

Court estate maintenance backlog is a serious problem impacting court capacity and justice delivery.

Conclusion
The maintenance backlog in the court estate is a serious problem. While there are some good court buildings, far too many are in a poor condition. This is having a negative effect on other elements of court capacity and, if not addressed, risks undermining the delivery of the high-quality justice system which this country expects.
