Question to the Ministry of Justice:

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, what progress she is making on publishing online lists and results of cases which are dealt with under the single justice procedure.

We are committed to upholding the principle of open justice as we digitise the courts and tribunals service. In parallel with the development of the IT solution and business processes we are looking at a range of public access options for lists of cases and exploring safe ways for SJP results to be made available digitally. In the meantime, HMCTS will continue to publish lists of SJP cases pending in local court buildings as now and to share lists and results with accredited media in compliance with obligations set out in the Criminal Procedure Rules.
