UK judiciary to get new domain name
The UK court system is set to gain a new domain name under judiciary.uk in a bid to emphasise its independence from the government, according to latest reports.
Court systems in England and Wales will change their current website addresses to correspond with the new domain name - giving a cohesive platform for all judiciary business and information.
The request from the Judicial Office and the Cabinet Office was granted to reflect the independence of the legal body. Until now the websites have come under gov.uk.
A spokesman for the Judicial Office told BBC News: "The judiciary is independent of both parliament and the executive and therefore it is more appropriate to signal this by a separate .uk domain."
He added that the decision is not unusual as the police, armed forces and parliament all have individual domain names to distinguish them from the Home Office body.
A recent survey showed that both businesses and individuals are in favour of Wales getting its own domain name.
