Justice Secretary Alex Chalk and Lord Chancellor Acknowledge Need for Single Justice Procedure Reform Due to Transparency Issues, Harsh Penalties, and Magistrates Handling Cases

Justice Secretary Alex Chalk and the Lord Chancellor have acknowledged the need for reform in the Single Justice Procedure (SJP) after investigations revealed issues with transparency and harsh penalties. The SJP, which allows magistrates to handle non-custodial criminal prosecutions in private, has faced criticism for operating behind closed doors, potentially exposing vulnerable individuals to injustice. The government is showing signs of readiness to address these concerns, with a focus on ensuring fairness and transparency in the justice system.
