As reported in Law Now dated 3 July 2009 Lord Justice Jackson, a Court of Appeal judge, has been tasked by the Master of the Rolls with reviewing the entire civil justice litigation system, and making recommendations for promoting access to justice at proportionate cost. At the heart of the review is the affordability of litigation, and the desire to make it cost effective for litigants. Our previous Law Now set out in more detail the various changes proposed in the Preliminary Report. The Law Now also launched a survey of the most important justice reforms.
The consultation period following the publication of Lord Justice Jackson's Preliminary Report on 8 May, is due to end on 31 July 2009.
The survey will close on 24 July 2009, following which the collated results will be published by way of a short report later in the summer and will also be provided to Lord Justice Jackson. If you have not done so, please complete the survey by clicking on the link below on or before Friday, 24 July 2009.
