It is the organisational capability review, which it kindly gave us along with other documents in which it highlighted the problem with the payment of fines. The review states:
Over the course of evidence gathering, stakeholders raised concerns about access to justice, drawing particular attention to matters around delays, costs and complexity. However, for its part, the Courts Service pointed to the constitutional independence of judges
To which stakeholders does the review refer here? Is it correct that it is stating the service does not really have a role in access to justice?
