Partner Nick Gova featured across national and trade media with Budget comments
Partner Nick Gova’s comments reacting to the Budget 2024, announced on Wednesday, have been extensively featured across multiple publications, including national press.
Nick’s comments were in reaction to the news that the Crown Prosecution Service will be provided with £10m in additional funding for digitising jury bundles in the criminal courts, which the government stated will reduce paper wastage and unnecessary trial delays.
Noting that the investment could help relieve pressure on the family court system, Nick says: “The courts are under significant pressure, some still reeling from the impact on the service since covid. Moving matters from court as a first resort to other forms of non-court resolution will assist parties and lighten the burden on courts, allowing them to deal with complicated cases and matters requiring intervention. Investment in technology will facilitate quicker resolution.”
