Civil Justice Council hold experts' workshop on Jackson proposals
The Civil Justice Council (CJC) has held an experts' workshop to draw up proposals for putting into practice parts of the Jackson report into civil costs.
The working group, chaired by CJC member Alistair Kinley, looked at Lord Justice Jackson's proposals on qualified one-way costs shifting, proportionality in civil costs and Pt 36 offers. Its proposals will be published on the CJC’s website.
Lord Neuberger, the master of the rolls, of Abbotsbury, said: “The CJC is well placed to help the implementation of policy by harnessing the expertise of practitioners drawn from across the spectrum of professionals and court users. There is a real need for detailed scrutiny by the people who will be asked to operate within the new costs landscape.”
