I took part in the recent consultation exercise concerning the Jackson proposals for the reform of civil litigation. The government has now published its response.

As far as I can see, the Jackson proposals will be fully implemented.

There is little evidence that any contrary views have been taken into account.

Accordingly, one is entitled to ask whether consultation exercises of this nature have any point.

Will the Law Society mount a Human Rights Act challenge? If so, I for one would be fully supportive.
