The areas selected for its 14th programme will shape its work for the next few years. The Commission, an independent body which advises the government on law reform, has suggested a range of topics including contempt of court laws, environmental protection, ownerless land, emerging technologies, powers of appeal in the criminal courts, and whether criminal law has kept pace with technological change.
Law Commission chair, Sir Nicholas Green, said: ‘Your contributions will be invaluable in helping us to decide which projects we suggest to the Lord Chancellor we should take forward for review. Your input will help us to clarify and modernise the law, benefitting society and businesses across England and Wales.’
The consultation closes on 31 July 2021. Find out more at lawcom.gov.uk/14th-programme.
