COVID-19 Response (Courts Safety) Legislation Bill

Bills are proposals to make a new law or to change an existing one. Only Parliament can pass a bill. Each bill goes through several stages, giving MPs and the public the chance to have their say.

The single broad policy of this omnibus bill is to support the safe and effective operation of courts and tribunals by making amendments to reduce the risk of transmission of COVID-19 among those who use or visit the courts, or carry out work at the courts.
