Senior business leaders will unite on Constitution Day to promote a reformed justice system that prioritizes equity and opportunity.

The mother of PC Andrew Harper has expressed devastation that two of his killers remain eligible for early release under revised government plans to address prison overcrowding. The UK government announced changes to exclude prisoners convicted of rape, grooming, and serious child sex offences from an early release scheme. Prime Minister Andy Burnham acknowledged public concerns but warned against further restrictions without risking the prison system's collapse. PC Harper was killed in 2019 during a quad bike theft incident. His family had previously been informed that two offenders could be released after serving half their sentences, sparking renewed emotional appeals for justice. Justice Secretary Alex Norris apologised to the family, while PC Harper's widow condemned the decision as 'disgusting'. The revised plan phases in changes from October 2026, with stricter supervision and GPS monitoring for high-risk offenders. Critics argue the reforms fall short, citing ongoing risks to victims and public safety. The government also pledged £10 million for victim support services, though amendments may further restrict early releases in the future.

Canada's justice minister has ordered a new trial for Daniel Jolivet, a Quebec man convicted of four murders in 1994, after concerns emerged about the fairness of his initial trial. Jolivet, who spent 33 years in prison, was released on bail in December 2025 pending a federal review. Justice Minister Sean Fraser cited reasonable grounds to believe a miscarriage of justice occurred, emphasizing the need to restore public trust in the legal system. Jolivet, who has consistently denied the charges, expressed relief at the decision, calling it 'freedom' and vowing to focus on self-care. His lawyer, Nicholas St-Jacques, highlighted the importance of the ruling for victims of wrongful convictions, stressing the need for formal acquittal. The Crown prosecutor's office will now assess whether to proceed with the case. Jolivet's case, which involved the 1994 convictions of four murders in Brossard, Quebec, was initially overturned on appeal but reinstated by the Supreme Court in 2000. His repeated requests for review were denied until 2025, when federal authorities acknowledged potential justice flaws. The decision underscores ongoing debates about systemic errors in criminal convictions and the complexities of overturning long-standing legal rulings.
