Prime Minister Andy Burnham has indicated his intention to scrap plans aimed at curtailing jury trials across England and Wales. This move would abandon one of the most significant overhauls introduced by Keir Starmer’s government. Burnham stated that his instincts are to ensure juries remain central to the justice system, expressing specific concerns regarding the previous proposals. The Prime Minister is now revisiting the strategy to reverse the limitations on jury trials within the UK.
