The UK Courts & Tribunals Service - Part 2

What really kept the courts running when the world shut down, and how did the justice system adapt under immense pressure? In this fascinating and highly informative episode Hatti Suvari speaks with Susan Acland-Hood, Chief Executive of HMCTS, to take you inside the UK’s Courts and Tribunals during one of the most challenging periods in recent history. From the rapid introduction of “Nightingale Courts” to tackling the growing backlog of cases, Susan reveals how hearings continued, how jury trials were safely managed, and the extraordinary efforts made to keep justice accessible. They also touch on the Online Money Claims service, including why, despite consideration of increasing the limit to £25,000, it currently remains at £10,000, covering the vast majority of claims, with future developments under review. Insightful, behind-the-scenes, and explained in clear, plain English, this is your chance to truly understand how the justice system works when it’s pushed to its limits. A must-listen episode packed with real-world legal insight. #HMCTS #UKCourts #UKTribunals #LegalEducation #GetLegallySpeaking #AccessToJustice #HattiSuvari #SusanAclandHood Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
