UK Home Office minister Alex Norris has said court backlogs in England will still fall even though the government has abandoned plans to restrict jury trials. The U-turn, linked to Justice Secretary David Lammy's proposals, has drawn criticism, with opponents arguing that keeping jury trials will delay justice for victims awaiting hearings in overcrowded courts.
Why now: The government's reversal on restricting jury trials has reignited debate over how to tackle England's growing court backlog.
