More Inefficiency In Our Courts.

Mole In The Know.
MITK informs me that magistrates have a new piece of insanity to contend with which is clogging up both courts and Probation Service.

Pre-Sentence Reports are now required in ALL cases of domestic violence - however trivial. Even a push or shove results in at least one extra court appearance and also significant extra work for our overburdened POs. Why do magistrates not have the power to make their own decisions?

Birdie.
