In our submission to HM Treasury's consultation on the 2026 Budget, we reiterated our strong calls for investment in justice under 4 priorities:
- Addressing the long-term sustainability of the justice system
- Modernising public services and devolution: a long-term strategy for court infrastructure and efficiency
- Halving violence against women and girls: a properly resourced criminal and family court system and specialist courts
- Early legal advice and legal aid investment to reduce downstream costs to the Treasury, courts and other public services
In line with the government's priorities, we also evidenced the importance of investing in local justice.
