Minister says court backlog will fall without jury reform

Original: Courts backlog will fall despite scrapping of jury trial plan, minister says https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/crq5nd9

The comments address concerns that dropping the reform, which had been considered as a way to cut delays, could leave the justice system struggling to clear its growing caseload.
