The panel, which met for a round-table discussion on the UK’s civil procedure rules this month, issued the following statement: “The lack of government investment, in particular in online legal facilities, [has] directly impacted on the efficient management of civil cases. Without suitable case management resources, the preparation of legal documents becomes time consuming, which in turn forces up costs.”
Panel members included the Right Honourable Lord Justice Brooke; Christopher Floyd QC; Keith Conway from Dechert LLP; Simon Davis from Clifford Chance; David Redfern from Stanley Tee and Fraser Whitehead from Russell, Jones & Walker.
