About Us
HM Courts and Tribunals Service is responsible for the administration of criminal, civil and family courts and tribunals in England and Wales, and non-devolved tribunals in Scotland and Northern Ireland.We are an executive agency of the Ministry of Justice. Every year, we handle more than 2 million criminal cases, 1.8 million civil claims, 150,000 family law disputes, almost 800,000 tribunal cases and we collect over £440m of fines imposed by courts.
Our 15,000 people working in around 349 courts, tribunals and national centres, play a vital role in maintaining the rule of law, supporting access to justice for all, and providing support to an independent judiciary in the administration of justice.
HMCTS is in the fifth year of our ambitious six-year programme to reform the courts and tribunals system. Together, we are changing how we work to ensure that our justice system continues to lead and inspire the world, and works better for everyone, from judges and legal professionals, to witnesses, litigants and the vulnerable victims of crime.
Our new Courts & Tribunal Service Centres will deliver the majority of services direct to the public and will complement our local courts and tribunals. They will centralise our expertise, providing the right tools for the job with modern technology in well-equipped offices. This will help us provide an excellent service for people who need to access the justice system, wherever they live. Courts & Tribunal Service Centres are our administrative offices of the future, where our colleagues will, by the end of our transformation, deal with almost all types of court and tribunal cases. Four centres are already operational in Loughborough, Stoke, Birmingham and Salford Quays CTSC with a new centre opening shortly in Newport
