Majority Want Online Courts To Keep Going – Survey — from artificiallawyer.com
Excerpt:
A major survey by the Social Market Foundation (SMF) of 1,000 individuals, plus 1,000 businesses, has found that a majority want to keep the online court system going, despite the end of the worst of the pandemic in the UK.
The results were:
- three-quarters of the British public are content with online hearings and other remote access arrangements. Just 27% of the public object to such innovations.
- 64% of businesses support remote access to the civil courts…..although, that means that up to 36%, a notable minority, of companies are not that happy with remote court hearings.
