The Ministry reached some major milestones over 2021/22, such as launching Te Au Reka, the Ministry's new digital case management solution for courts and tribunals, and developing a Victims Framework to ensure that victims remain a focus when carrying out Ministry work.
Despite COVID-19 continuing to cast a heavy shadow, the Ministry kept the courts operational, as an essential service, during the COVID-19 waves. By the end of 2021/22 the courts had fewer cases than what they had at the start of the pandemic and the courts were performing better than those of other countries.
