Conclusion (the committee's words)
HMCTS told us that it expects to see a higher number of cases in both the magistrates and crown courts. It believed that it could flex its operations to adapt to greater volumes of cases if this is properly funded. However, HMCTS did concede that at the very upper end of the projections it would have serious concerns about court maintenance if it needed to run courts at maximum capacity.50
