Two pilots have been set up, between Camberwell Green Magistrates' Court and 15 centres at police stations across London, and between Maidstone Magistrates' Court in Kent and the charging centre at Medway Police Station.
The scheme follows a test in July 2007 at Camberwell, which found that the time between charge and first hearing could be cut from an average of 10 days to about four hours. The Ministry of Justice (MoJ) believes virtual courts could save £10m annually, free police and court time and provide a better service to victims and witnesses.
Further more the contract will also provide video conferencing to connect prisons and witnesses to courts remotely ( Prison Court Video Links). The system will also be used for video conferences linking probation officers and offenders (NOMS).
