9

Urgent need for collaboration on judge recruitment and competitive HMCTS staff pay.

Conclusion
The Government, the Judiciary and the Judicial Appointments Commission should work closely together to address the challenges in recruiting judges in those areas where there is the greatest need for increased capacity. In relation to the pay of HMCTS staff, the Government needs to ensure that pay levels keep up with those for equivalent roles in other departments. (Paragraph 29) Evaluating court capacity
