Lord Justice Jackson is conducting a wholesale review of the entire civil litigation system, with a view to 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.
In May 2009, Lord Justice Jackson published his Preliminary Report. It covers a lot of ground. Few people will read the report from cover to cover. What are the key points? Which areas of the civil litigation system are being targeted? What do you need to know?
In the attached Summary Report we set out some of the key points arising from the Preliminary Report for those involved in (generally high value) commercial litigation, and highlight some questions that arise.
