Abandon any plans to curtail, in any way, the right to Trial by Jury

The right to jury trial has been a core British value for centuries. It was developed in Anglo-Saxon & Scandinavian nations, and is enshrined in Magna Carta: "No free man shall be...imprisoned, or deprived of his liberties [except] by lawful judgment of his peers". Experience across the world shows that keeping the right to jury trial (except for minor offences) is the most powerful protector of individual liberty. The government must find other ways of addressing the backlog in the courts.
