Law Commission makes request for reform proposals

The Law Commission is calling on practitioners to supply ideas for its next three years of law reform proposals.

Any ideas supplied by 31 October could make up the Commission’s 12th programme of law reform projects for its next three years of work.

Lord Justice Lloyd Jones, chair of the Law Commission, says: “We want to hear from the practitioners who work with the law every day. 

“They are the people who are ideally placed to tell us where the law is in need of reform. They can see where the law is no longer working, where it has become too complex or inaccessible, or where it has simply fallen out of step with the times. They see, too, the impact this can have on the lives of their clients.”
