Whilst there may be scope for cutting some paperwork, primarily stuff that is collecting statistics and targets on this that and the other, most paperwork related to crime will remain. Unless Defence Lawyers are going to roll over and ignore technicalities that procedures weren't followed, the paperwork saying they were will still be required in exhaustive detail. Yes there is a phenomenal amount of paperwork, but most of that is directly attributable to court procedures. If savings are to be made then one needs to look at the real area of inefficiency in the justice system, the court procedures.
