A £170 million cash injection into the justice system has been cautiously welcomed by a Shropshire legal expert.

Sue Hodgson, head of family law at Lanyon Bowdler, said the investment announced in the Chancellor’s Spring Budget was positive – but only if it was used in the right way.

The Government is pledging to invest £170 million into non court-based legal resolution, digitising the court process and reducing re-offending. The investment will include £55 million earmarked for family courts to shorten waiting times by offering more online guidance and earlier legal advice.
