It comes as some trial dates have been put off for months due to the criminal barristers' strike.
Crown Court judges have been releasing potentially dangerous criminals unlawfully because of delays linked to the criminal barristers' strike, the High Court has heard.
In each custody ruling, judges said they had no power to keep defendants in jail beyond the standard six-month pre-trial limit - because the law does not let them consider the strike as a "good and sufficient" reason to do so. "Custody time limit applications are not the place to second-guess fine judgments about funding," he told the court.
Judge Peter Blair in Bristol said the government had had "many many months" to end the barristers' industrial action, adding: "In my view today's predicament arises precisely because of the chronic and predictable consequences of long-term underfunding."
