Accountability · outcome beside Green Book evidence
Criminal Justice and Courts Act 2015 became law. The official papers we read covered some Green Book cases well and left gaps in others. For accountability, the outcome sits beside a mixed evidence trail — worth reading the case notes below.

Economic: Gap — The papers we read for this bill do not give a figure in pounds for what it would cost or save. That is not a yes or no on the bill.
Commercial: Contracting out secure colleges 40. Referral orders: alternatives to revocation for breach of youth offender contract 44.
Financial: Gap — The papers we read for this bill do not say who would pay for it, or where the money would come from.
Management: Appeals from the High Court to the Supreme Court 64. Minor amendments PART 4 Judicial review Judicial review in the High Court and Upper Tribunal 84.
This is an accountability reading, not a recommendation and not a score. It does not say whether Parliament should have passed or rejected the bill. It only sets the actual parliamentary outcome beside how complete the Green Book five-case evidence was in the official papers.
These UK Acts sit in a similar policy space and are already law. Pairing uses this proposal’s official papers (and the plain-English note themes). It is not a verdict that the proposal is redundant or unnecessary.
