Recommendation 31

31 Accepted in Part

Confirm Core Case Data rollout timeline and publish local civil justice scorecards for transparency.

Recommendation
We welcome the Government’s ambition to improve the use of digital technology in the County Courts. We would ask the Government to confirm the timeline for the rollout of Core Case Data. Once the data is available, the Government should also publish local civil justice scorecards to enhance the transparency of timeliness in the civil and family courts. (Paragraph 110) Judicial resources in the civil and family courts
Government Response Summary
The government accepted in part, confirming the civil reform project is due to run until March 2023, during which an end-to-end reformed service for civil money claims using Core Case Data (CCD) is expected, with reform for other claims also commencing; however, the request to publish local civil justice scorecards was not addressed.

HM Government Accepted in Part
The civil reform project is due to run until March 2023. Within that time, we expect to deliver an end to end reformed service for civil money claims – this service will use Core Case Data (CCD), a case management system designed to support our reformed services in Civil, Family and Tribunals, to provide the ability to issue, respond and progress money claims and damages claims to a final hearing. The reform of both possession claims, and enforcement applications has also recently commenced and HMCTS is currently considering how best to reform these services using CCD.
