Civil justice

Civil courts review

The Rt Hon Lord Gill published a consultation paper in November 2007, which deals with four related themes: access to justice, the cost and funding of litigation, the structure of the civil courts and the procedures adopted by the courts. The consultation paper asks a number of questions on each of these topics. It does not aim to draw conclusions about the potential options for reform but to identify what they are and whether they are worthy of further examination.
