Time for change?

Speech by Sir Igor Judge, President of the Queen's Bench Division

15/08/2007

 

Sir Igor Judge speaks about measures designed to improve the fairness and efficiency of criminal procedures and particularly the role that judges themselves must play.

“The most significant factor in the new approach which judges are invited to apply, that is to ensure that the case is properly prepared for trial, and properly and fairly tried, is that judges themselves have to be prepared to take on this additional responsibility.”
