New justice minister Jeremy Wright today said the government would cancel plans for weekend court hearings if the trial proves to be unsuccessful.
Wright, in his first public speech since joining the department last month, said it would be ‘crazy’ to pursue the policy nationwide if concerns raised by the profession about the ongoing regional tests proved to be correct.
The former criminal barrister told a fringe meeting of the Conservative Party Conference that he had met the Bar Council this morning to hear its view that weekend and evening sittings at court would not succeed.
