Spats are brewing as the digital golden age beckons. Writing in this week’s NLJ, City Law School Professor Dominic Regan looks at Sir Geoffrey Vos, Master of the Rolls’s vision of the future, where ‘every case will be started online’ and ‘managed online’.
‘There will be no exception made for the “digitally disadvantaged”. Help will be provided to assist them with compliance, we are assured,’ he writes. He also looks at the future role of ADR as well as potential spats about physical attendance at court as the COVID-19 pandemic becomes more manageable.
Regan shares his views on the personal injury road traffic and whiplash reforms, which began on 1 June, and does not mince his words. ‘Despite years in the making,’ he writes, ‘the exercise is an utter mess.’
