前高级法官Brian Leveson爵士已提议对联合王国法院系统进行重大改革,以解决皇家法院积压的76 957个案件。 Former senior judge Sir Brian Leveson has proposed major reforms to the UK court system to address a record backlog of 76,957 cases in crown courts. 改革的目的是通过减少陪审团审判、在庭外解决更多案件以及设立新的刑事法院审判庭审判司来节省每年9 000个开庭日。 The reforms aim to save 9,000 sitting days annually by reducing jury trials, resolving more cases outside of court, and introducing a new Crown Court Bench Division for trials. 早认罪的被告将获得40%的刑期折扣。 Defendants pleading guilty early would receive a 40% sentence discount. 司法秘书将在秋天可能进行的立法修改之前审议这些建议。 The Justice Secretary will consider these recommendations ahead of potential legislative changes in the autumn.
