Authorities have announced the launch of a new judicial hearing format—'Short Trial Courts'—which will operate nationwide. The main objective of the initiative is to reduce the significant backlog of cases that has accumulated in the Crown Court system. According to the program's initiators, the new approach will allow crime victims to receive justice faster and more fairly, without waiting months or even years for court proceedings. The expedited courts envision a more streamlined hearing format while maintaining all procedural safeguards for the parties involved. The problem of judicial delays has become more acute in recent years: the growing number of unresolved cases has led to prolonged waits for justice for both crime victims and defendants. This has drawn criticism from legal professionals, human rights organizations, and the participants themselves, who have pointed out the negative impact of protracted proceedings on the psychological condition of victims and the quality of evidence. The implementation of the new court model is regarded by authorities as part of a broader strategy to reform the criminal justice system. It is expected that expedited proceedings will allow for more efficient allocation of judicial resources while ensuring compliance with the rights of all participants in the process. Details regarding the scope of the program, the number of courts involved, and the expected timeline for reducing the case backlog are still being clarified. Authorities have promised to provide additional information as the initiative is implemented.
