answer text <p>Our vision is for a modern and world-renowned justice system that is swifter, more accessible and easier to use for everyone. The modernisation programme is now in its second year and is progressing well. Tax Appeal Online was launched in June and a number of new services are being tested with the public. These include Probate Online and online tracking in the Social Security &amp; Child Support Tribunal. In the magistrates’ court, good progress is being made in developing a simpler way of deciding summary, non-imprisonable offences using streamlined processes and a new digital system.</p> more like this
