The Law Commission is extending its timetable for choosing its 14th Programme of law reform after receiving about 500 responses covering nearly 200 possibilities for law reform
It launched a consultation in 2021, asking for suggestions for reforms to explore. However, Sir Nicholas Green, Chair, Law Commission, said this week the Commissioners have decided ‘now is not the time to set in stone a list of projects which will determine a significant percentage of our work over the next four to five years and beyond. We are concerned that to do so will reduce our capacity to respond flexibly to law reform needs arising in the near future’. Instead, it will continue work on its existing programme.
