A rape survivor expressed disgust after House of Lords rejected free court transcripts for victims due to high costs, with some charged thousands of pounds to access trial transcripts.
Victims are not routinely provided with court transcripts, with costs varying up to £7,500; campaigners like Juliana Terlizzi advocate for free access to court transcripts for crime victims.
'Insult to victims': Despite some support from MPs and plans for a pilot for sexual offense victims, the Ministry of Justice defended the existing system for obtaining court transcripts.
The Open Justice campaign, joined by survivors like Terlizzi, calls for government action to allow free access to complete court transcripts for crime victims, following the rejected amendment.
