And there are now no custody cases at Isleworth Crown Court because the heating has failed.

The criminal justice system is on its knees.

Court suddenly shuts a day after we highlighted problems An official reason for the closure has been sought by Nottinghamshire Live

No wonder there is a backlog of cases in the Crown Court.
This is happening up and down the jurisdiction.
Cuts have consequences.

First day back in court after the break. Thought things might be different in 2025.

But it's the same old, same old . . . heating problems at Nottingham Crown Court All courtrooms are shut.

That Crown Court case backlog is not going to improve any time soon.

The Lady Chief Justice is right.

The previous government devastated criminal justice, running up record delays and backlogs.

The new government’s ongoing refusal to fund the courts only increases the problem, and will lead to enormous financial and social long-term costs.
