1. Make all court and tribunal transcripts available free of charge - 195,029 signatures

Current UK law on court filming is outdated (Supreme Court Act 1981 s.47; Crime and Courts Act 2013 s.32 – limited to Supreme Court and certain appeals, excluding lower courts). We believe mandatory filming would prevent potential prejudice, allowing parties to request footage and full public transparency in life-changing decisions.
