Protect the Right to Trial by Jury

Protect the Right to Trial by Jury — 10 signatures. Status: rejected.

Petition background

We ask the Government to commit publicly to retaining the right to trial by jury in England and Wales. Trial by jury is a long-standing safeguard in the justice system, ensuring fairness, independence, and public confidence. We want the Government to rule out any proposals of this.

Additional details

We urge the Government not to pursue any reforms that would abolish or limit the right to trial by jury. Jury trials are a fundamental democratic protection, allowing ordinary citizens to take part in the justice process. Any move to weaken this right would risk reducing transparency and fairness.
