The Law Commission has extended the timetable for finalising its 14th programme of law reform for the next five years and beyond, which it first consulted on in 2021, receiving 500 responses and nearly 200 suggestions for reform.
Sir Nicholas Green, the commission’s chair, said it is fully engaged with current projects and took the decision to extend in view of the government’s focus on priorities for the remainder of this Parliament.
Sir Nicholas said that while formal submission of suggestions for the 14th programme has ended, ‘we always remain open to receiving ideas on new areas of potential law reform’.
