Justice releases civil justice system report

The Ministry of Justice today released its first periodic report on progress towards the justice sector’s civil and democratic outcomes.

The report presents baseline information and indicators for each of the justice sector’s civil and democratic outcomes:

The reports are available on the Ministry of Justice website:
