Judicial Review and Appeals Process: Engagement with Courts Service
2:00 am
Ms Angela Denning:
We are in the middle of the Estimates process at the moment in terms of making our submission and so on. We have included an application for more staff for the courts right across the board. Planning and judicial review is not the only area that is going to increase in the next year or two. We expect to see an increase in immigration cases as the Department of justice processes more. We have new family courts legislation. We have increased numbers of speed cameras, so we are going to have extra pressure on the district courts. We are seeing increases in childcare domestic violence right across the board. That is all encompassed in our Estimates submission, which has gone to our parent Department. I will say no more.
