Following the enactment of the Courts Service Act 1998, the Courts Service was established on 9 November 1999 as an independent corporate body to manage the courts, support the Judiciary and provide a high quality and professional service to all users of the courts. The functions of the service are to manage the courts, provide support services for the judges, provide information on the courts system to the public, provide, manage and maintain court buildings, and provide facilities for users of the courts. I have no plans to amend the above legislation at the present time.
