Dedicated economic crime courts would address complex fraud cases and backlog.

Conclusion
We have heard compelling proposals for dedicated economic crime courts to ensure there are judges with the right skills to oversee what can often be lengthy and sometimes complex cases. This would also help address the backlog in fraud cases, which are not always seen as a priority for listing. We support the steps the Government is taking in this direction.
