Message from the Transparency and Open Justice Board: Key Objectives
In December 2024, the Board published its proposals for the Key Objectives and invited interested parties to submit their views. Thank you to all of those who engaged with this.
Today, we publish the finalised Key Objectives that were approved by the Board at its meeting last week together with the Board’s response to the engagement.
The Key Objectives represent the first stage of reform. Now that they have been finalised, the the next phase of the Board’s work will be to engage with all Courts and Tribunals and to ask them to carry out an evaluation of the extent to which their current practice and procedure achieve the Key Objectives. Where they do not do so, the relevant Courts and Tribunals will be asked to formulate a change programme that would see the Key Objectives being realised. As part of that reflective exercise, the Courts and Tribunals will be asked to identify any obstacles to achieving the necessary changes. We will begin this work in earnest in the Autumn.
If you have any questions, please contact pmo@judiciary.uk
Mr Justice Nicklin
Chair of the Transparency and Open Justice Board
