Sir Brian Leveson

Sir Brian Leveson is not mentioned in any of the provided news articles. The articles focus on potential reforms to the UK justice system, specifically concerning efforts to reduce case backlogs and proposed changes to jury trials. Justice Secretary David Lammy is at the center of these discussions, with plans to lift the cap on court sitting days to hear more cases. However, proposals to reduce the number of jury trials are facing strong opposition from lawyers and the Victims’ Commissioner for England and Wales, Claire Waxman, who warn of potential damage to the justice system and reduced victim participation. The legal profession has voiced significant concerns, arguing that restricting jury trials would be an 'irremediable error'. The government is expected to formally announce these changes soon, despite the deep divisions within the judiciary and legal community.
