[LUG]IT bug with HM Courts

 

Was listening to this and the more I listened I could not determine how much this is 
an ongoing problem as opposed to resolved problem

"An ambitious plan to digitalize the courts was meant to remove the need for 
hundreds of thousands of paper documents. But File on 4 Investigates has discovered 
an IT system, introduced as part of a £1bn project, has been plagued with technical 
faults - causing crucial information to go missing, be overwritten, or appear lost.

The government body that runs the courts in England and Wales has now checked 
hundreds of thousands of benefit and child support appeals to identify if any were 
affected by missing evidence. But sources say the IT bug was known about for years 
before action was taken."
