JUSTICE REVIEWER

In brief

A new, independent advisory body, which aims to improve the administrative justice system, has been launched. The Administrative Justice and Tribunals Council (AJTC), which replaces the Council on Tribunals, and its Scottish committee were created by the Tribunals, Courts and Enforcement Act 2007. Sponsored by the Ministry of Justice, the AJTC will keep under review the administrative justice system as a whole, considering how it might be made more accessible, fair and efficient. It will seek to ensure the relationships between the courts, tribunals, ombudsmen and alternative dispute resolution reflect the needs of users.
