Electronic trade, hate crime and automated vehicles are among the subjects of eight major reports published by the Law Commission in the past 12 months, according to its Annual Report 2021-22.
It also published two major reports specific to Wales, on coal tips and devolved tribunals, that were laid before the Senedd.
In the past year, the government has implemented several of the Law Commission’s recommended reforms, including those pertaining to communications and cyberflashing offences in the Online Safety Bill and espionage offences in the National Security Bill.
Sir Nicholas Green, Law Commission chair, said: ‘We are proud of the fact we have a high implementation rate within government which reflects the rigour of our analysis but also the fact that government knows that it can trust that our proposals for reform are fair, balanced and evidence based.’
