Most courts across the UK have been closed since March due to the coronavirus pandemic, but some Derbyshire hearings have continued virtually.
Buxton's court building closed in 2016, but Hardyal Dhindsa, police and crime commissioner for the county, said emergency funding could be used to reopen the court and help clear the backlog that's worsened over the past three months.
Meanwhile, Chesterfield Magistrates' Court could soon reopen its doors to a reduced number of cases.

PA MediaTheatres across the UK are "not far away" from facing permanent closure, the artistic director of Nottingham Playhouse has warned.
Adam Penford said theatres need financial investment and clear dates so that they can plan ahead.
His intervention comes after the government published a five-stage plan for the industry's return on Thursday.
Mr Penford said it could take years for audience numbers to return to levels seen before the coronavirus pandemic forced all venues to close in March, adding a "complete collapse and closure" could come if they aren't financially supported.
As well as theatre work, Nottingham Playhouse also runs programmes with youth groups, learning disabled adults, and those who are homeless, at risk of homelessness or have suffered from substance abuse.
