Set in a former courthouse brought back to life, the series will follow the stories of members of the public from across the UK who have chosen to fast track their cases through a televised, alternative court.
From passionate pet custody battles and contested inheritances to online defamation and escalating neighbourly conflicts, each case will be packed with drama and the types of moral dilemmas that reflect real life in Britain in 2025. While the disputes will be varied, the need for resolution is something they all share.
Each side’s case will be prepared by an independent solicitor before two expert barristers go head-to-head on behalf of the opposing parties. After each hearing, an independent arbitrator will deliver a legally-binding decision, allowing each side to move on with their lives.
