"It is vital we cut the cost of running our courts and tribunals to the taxpayer."


Why?

No, seriously...Why? What case has the MOJ made for the court system being the bloated leviathan it makes it with comments like this?

Why should the public not have to pay for things like a Court system? I can understand perfectly well, and I'm sure we can all agree on the point, that the system should be run efficiently, but measures like this appear to have little correlation with efficiency and more with quick wins/easy money.

I'm reminded of all things of an episode of the West Wing where Mr Zeigler has a verbal tussle with a Republican set on doing away with public funding for the arts on the basis that funding is going to artists producing works she/'the people' deem to be unworthy. Mr Z retorts that plenty of people don't like tanks either, but they have to pay for them.

Quite!
