Recommendation 5

5 Paragraph: 22

MoJ and HMCTS missed court reform opportunities due to insufficient early data collection.

Conclusion
The Ministry of Justice and HMCTS have missed opportunities to swiftly deliver an ambitious court reform programme. Many of the problems that we heard about during our inquiry and continue to hear about, could have been avoided if better data collection had been built into the system much earlier. We recognise that the MoJ and HMCTS are taking steps to improve the data situation. However, we would stress that the level of improvement required will need a sustained focus and significant investment.
