The Civil Justice Advisory Group reconvened in early 2010 to consider the proposals of the Scottish Civil Courts Review, led by the Lord Justice Clerk, Lord Gill. Given its instrumental role leading up to the civil courts review, the Group felt it was very well placed to react to the review’s proposals, and also to make its own recommendations about future courses of action. The Group’s deliberations have focused principally on those aspects of the review of most direct relevance for consumers, namely those recommendations relating to pre-court measures, including improving access to justice for party litigants, the proposed ‘third -tier’ of civil jurisdiction, and new simplified procedure.
The Group published its report on 18 January 2011.
