Lawyers respond to the Budget - New Law Journal
Chancellor of the Exchequer Rishi Sunak's autumn Budget has allocated £477 million to the criminal justice backlog, while £324 million will go towards reducing backlogs in the civil, family and tribunal jurisdictions, and £200 million will go towards the Ministry of Justice court reform programme.
Sunak also announced a Scale-up visa for highly skilled workers from abroad.
Russell-Cooke partner Guy Wilmot and associate Bhavneeta Limbachia comment in New Law Journal to say the new visa is welcome but will need to prove its usefulness in accomplishing the Government's ambitions.
