LNB NEWS: Law Commission publishes Annual Report 2021—22

The Law Commission has published its ‘Annual Report 2021—22’, which highlights the work the Commission has undertaken in the previous 12 months. 

Lexis®Library update: This work includes publishing eight major reports on matters such as electronic trade documents, hate crime and automated vehicles, and two Wales-specific reports on coal tips and devolved tribunals in Wales that were laid before the Senedd.

The Law Commission has said many of its law reforms have been implemented by government, such as those pertaining to communications and cyberflashing offences in the Online Safety Bill and espionage offences in the National Security Bill, and it has recruited a Diversity and Inclusion Coordinator and promoted an array of training and development initiatives in and beyond the organisation.

The Law Commission has also said its new governance and funding model has allowed it ‘to continue to deliver high quality and timely law reform’.

The report can be read here.
