Open Petition since 5th February 2026

Make all court and tribunal transcripts available free of charge - 203,532 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 204,588 - 20 added in the past 24hrs)

Make all court and tribunal transcripts available for free. Currently, fees can reach thousands, creating a "paywall" for justice. All legal records should be public property to help ensure transparency, allow for fair appeals, and support victims. Access to the law should not depend on wealth.

The Government is already increasing transparency in the courts, including expanding free access to Crown Court sentencing remarks. Going further now would place even more pressure on the system.

Remove sentence reductions for guilty pleas in controlling and coercive cases - 103,649 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 111,456 - 304 added in the past 24hrs)

I want the Government to introduce legislation so that defendants charged with controlling or coercive behaviour cannot receive a sentencing reduction for a guilty plea entered after initially pleading not guilty. This should be known as Paris’s Law.

Guilty pleas given later in the process can still benefit victims and the administration of justice but are reflected by a substantially lower reduction in sentence.
