Ten cases a day - how 'blitz courts' could tackle the Crown Court backlog
Nottingham Crown Court is holding 'blitz hearings' to tackle the massive backlog of cases by processing up to ten cases per day, with plans to expand the scheme to other courts in England and Wales. The initiative aims to speed up justice for offenses like sex crimes, drug offenses, and assaults on emergency workers, though critics warn against shortcuts in the justice system.
