MoJ reveals 2019-2022 plans

The Ministry of Justice (MoJ) has published a series of objectives as part of its departmental plan for 2019-2022. 

They include: ‘a transparent and efficient court system’ with ‘a fully transformed end to end probate service’ and ‘introducing measures to simplify the process for private rental landlords to repossess their property and reduce the time taken in court’. Other goals include ‘protecting the judiciary from unwarranted criticism’, removing fault from the divorce process and, in terms of future relations with Europe and abroad, ‘negotiating future arrangements with the EU on civil and criminal judicial cooperation and strengthening international arrangements on civil judicial cooperation’.
