Baroness Sue Carr criticized the Conservative government's delayed funding for courts, stating it left them in financial limbo, affecting justice delivery and exacerbating backlogs.
Despite judges being available for 113,000 days a year, the Labour government’s financial limits restricted them to 106,500, significantly impacting the court system's functionality.
Baroness Carr highlighted that the failure to reach timely funding agreements has been a recurrent issue over the last six years, indicating systemic funding flaws.
The criminal courts are in a 'drastic' state, according to Baroness Carr, who linked the current crisis to historical funding cuts and pandemic-related challenges.
