A body representing criminal lawyers called the situation a ‘huge waste of taxpayer’s money’

‘Top-notch commercial premises’ at Prospero House are being rented out for criminal hearings

The backlog was worsened by the closure of most UK courts in the first months of lockdown but was already sizeable beforehand, with 17,400 jury trials held up at the start of March. ‘For victims of crime and suspects left in legal limbo, it’s the equivalent of turning up to a hospital building, being told that it’s open and seeing dozens of empty operating theatres and hospital beds while you are kept on a trolley.

‘For reasons out of our control, such as a defendant pleading guilty at the last minute, a trial may not go ahead but we will always try to make the best use of court time.’
