Conclusion (the committee's words)
Organisations representing users of the justice system were also concerned about the approach to evaluating the impact of reforms. In its written evidence, the Magistrates Association suggested HMCTS needed to focus on understanding the impact of reforms on court users.39 Transform Justice, the Law Centres Network and the Law Society all raised the risk of the Ministry and HMCTS pushing ahead with planned reform without first assessing the success or otherwise of experiences to date.40 Transform Justice told us that, where there is a planned evaluation, “there is no question mark as to whether [HMCTS] will go ahead”.41
