Recommendation 12
12
Re-establish an independent Courts’ Inspectorate with updated, broadened terms of reference.
Recommendation
A Courts’ Inspectorate, which is independent from Government, could make a substantial difference to the accountability and transparency of the justice system. It could use inspections and the promised improvements to the quality of the data to make recommendations that can inform policy and guidance in both criminal and civil justice. An inspectorate could also help to monitor the use of technology in the courts. Accordingly, we recommend that the Government re-establish a Courts’ Inspectorate with updated and broadened terms of reference. (Paragraph 35) 44 Court Capacity The criminal courts The Crown Court
