Audio recording of magistrates’ court proceedings will require significant investment in infrastructure, secure storage systems and transcription. Based on recent experience, we are sceptical that HMCTS will be able to ensure that all magistrates’ courts can be readily equipped with the necessary facilities prior to the commencement of the bill.
