Following an Evening Standard investigation into the single justice procedure, Tristan Kirk, our courts correspondent, reveals the truth behind this 'conveyor belt' system.
Some of the scandals uncovered are a sick pensioner convicted of breaking the Covid lockdown with a visit to his allotment, parents unlawfully fined in dark corners of the justice system over truancy allegations, and women who attended the vigil for Sarah Everard prosecuted while oblivious to criminal cases against them.
We take an in-depth look at what is happening with our courts system and how it’s being used to prosecute Londoners 'behind closed doors'.
