Recommendation 8

Paragraph: 28
Judicial capacity identified as the most pressing constraint on the court system.
Conclusion
When the number of staff and judges falls more sharply than the overall caseload, there are bound to be capacity issues in the courts. Even if the number of cases falls more quickly than the number of staff, reducing judicial and staff capacity creates a risk when there is always a possibility that the number of cases will increase again. As discussed later in this Report, at present, judicial capacity is the most pressing constraint on the capacity of the courts.
