Claire Waxman, the new victims’ commissioner for England and Wales, has issued a stark warning about a potential government U-turn on limiting jury trials. She argues that such a move could lead to the collapse of the justice system, which is already under significant strain. Waxman emphasizes that without reducing the number of jury trials, victims may be deterred from engaging with the legal process.
