UK plans justice overhaul to prioritise victims by cutting court delays

LONDON, Nov 30 () - Britain's government is set to propose a ​criminal justice system overhaul next week aimed at cutting ‌a backlog of nearly 80,000 cases that has left thousands waiting ‌years for justice. The Labour government, which has warned the number of cases waiting to be heard could rise to 100,000 by 2028 without action, said the reforms would take ⁠forward recommendations from ‌a review conducted earlier this year.
