Simon,
Yes, of course Woolf made his reforms with good intentions, the road to hell is paved with them.
The trick is to understand when those good intentions will lead to hell, and Woolf did not have the nous to do so.
Regrettably, he exhibited that sin peculiar to judges, of arrogance in believing being a good judge equips them to legislate on other matters; it does not.
