CJC ReportThe Reaction

This is just eBay and eBay is not Justice
How can there be justice without personalised

CJC ReportThe Reaction
HMCTS (Her Majesty's Court and Tribunal Service)
has been positive - We welcome the publication
of this important and thought-provoking report.
We agree that ODR is an important area and one
that we are actively exploring in more detail in
the context of the reform of court and tribunal
services. We are keen to continue to engage with
the ODR advisory group on its report and any
future work that the Civil Justice Council may
commission it to do.
