The UK government is set to implement reforms that will significantly limit the right to jury trials in an effort to address a growing backlog in the court system, which currently stands at 80,000 cases. Justice Secretary David Lammy has confirmed that jury trials will be scrapped for crimes with sentences of three years or less and complex financial crimes, sparking considerable debate and criticism. Critics argue that this could undermine the integrity of the justice system, with concerns raised about potential miscarriages of justice. Supporters, however, contend that these measures are essential for fast-tracking justice and alleviating pressure on the courts. As these reforms are discussed in Parliament, opinions remain divided on whether such changes will serve the interests of justice or if they represent a dangerous erosion of democratic legal principles.
