The courts service is facing allegations of concealing a critical IT bug that led to the disappearance of evidence in court cases. According to sources, this flaw potentially resulted in judges and tribunals making rulings based on incomplete information. The implications of this cover-up could be far-reaching, potentially undermining the integrity of past legal decisions and raising serious questions about the reliability of the courts' IT infrastructure. An investigation into the matter is likely to be launched to assess the extent of the damage and determine who was responsible for the alleged concealment.
