Speech by the Lord Chief Justice: Launch of TheCityUK's Legal Services Report 2016

4 October 2016

We use the work that TheCityUK does to try and get over to Government how important the legal sector is. And, without facts and figures - and I am not going to re-traverse facts and figures because you have got them and you have had a summary of them - we have a very great difficulty. We try and persuade all branches of the State just how important the legal sector is. It is a constant battle (a) to obtain money to fund the courts and tribunals, but (b) to try and make certain that justice is seen as central to our society.
