Review of the Scottish Civil Courts
The Lord Justice Clerk Lord Gill is heading a wide-ranging review of Scotland's civil courts and the way they work.
The review, begun in February 2007, is aimed at ensuring that the civil justice system continues to provide an effective and efficient service for any individuals, families, communities and businesses that have cause to use it. Its remit includes the timeline of reporting within 2 years and of making recommendations for changes with a view to improving access to civil justice in Scotland; promoting early resolution of disputes; making the best use of resources and ensuring that cases are dealt with in ways which are proportionate to the value, importance and complexity of the issues raised.
A public consultation exercise begun in March 2008 has now closed and the formal responses can be viewed on the
Review website from early July.
