Yesterday HMCTS published their recovery plan for Civil & Family Courts & Tribunals. As we know during pandemic they introduced measures throughout our courts & tribunals to increase capacity & maintain operations. This plan details their progress & sets out how they will continue to deliver our services. It details the progress that’s been made to safely increase capacity to deal with outstanding cases & sets out plans of how they will continue to deliver justice services for all users in these areas
