Make all court and tribunal transcripts available free of charge - 202,752 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 205,240 - 24 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 responsed to this petition on 3rd March 2026 (View Full Response)
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.
