Regional courts help shift London admin onus

In April the four key legal centres became home to Administrative Courts in a move that head of the Queen’s Bench Division Sir Anthony May hoped would ease the increasing workload of the London Administration Court.

Plans are now in place to allow High Court judges to travel to the regional centres when cases demand it.

Last week, in what is thought to be a legal first, High Court judge Mr ­Justice Langstaff presided over a case in Liverpool.
