Lexis®Library update: The plan sets out the Law Commission’s key priorities as ensuring the law is fair, modern and clear, focusing on how it engages with stakeholders, developing future ways of working, and enhancing its approach to diversity and inclusion.
The plan contains a review of its 2021–2022 targets and achievements, including the launch of the 14th Programme public consultation in March 2021 which resulted in over 500 responses and over 200 suggestions for potential law reform projects.
The plan notes that in 2022 the Law Commission decided to extend the timetable for formulating the Programme and continue analysing responses but ‘will reinvigorate discussions with the Ministry of Justice, and across Whitehall, so that we are in a position to put a draft 14th Programme before the Lord Chancellor at the appropriate time’. The plan also includes details of upcoming publications, such as the Corporate Criminal Liability options paper, which is expected to be published in 2022–2023.
