The access to justice provided by courts and tribunals is of critical importance. It is of the top priority of HM Courts and Tribunals Service (HMCTS) to ensure that essential public service is delivered safely.

We will keep this under careful review in light of PHE guidance at the time we will reform Courts to normal operation as quickly and safely as possible.
