Bankers' Books Evidence Bill, Tribunals Reforms Bill: Parliament gets it right amid the standoff

Parliament successfully passed two overdue bills despite political disagreements: the Bankers' Books Evidence Bill and the Tribunals Reforms Bill. The Bankers' Bill allows digital bank records as court evidence, streamlining commercial litigation. The Tribunals Bill creates an independent framework, insulating tribunals from executive influence and enhancing accountability for specialized legal services. The author welcomes these legislative changes, which underscore the government's commitment to "ease of doing business," modernize the legal infrastructure, and address critical Supreme Court recommendations for tribunal independence and efficiency.
