KembaraXtra – Legal Terms – Nightingale Courts
Nightingale courts were temporary courts established in England and Wales during the Coronavirus pandemic of 2020–2021.
Their main purpose was to reduce the backlog of legal cases caused by lockdown restrictions and social-distancing requirements.
These temporary courts operated in locations such as theatres, town halls, and libraries rather than traditional courthouse buildings.
They handled a range of matters including civil cases, family proceedings, tribunal hearings, and non-custodial criminal cases.
The creation of Nightingale courts demonstrated an emergency response by the justice system to maintain court operations during a major public health crisis.
