Will I See You in Court?

The county courts, which form the backbone of civil justice in the UK by dealing with a variety of cases including family matters, contractual disputes and debt claims, are currently on the verge of crisis. Reeves argues that this has been initiated by the Government’s failure to provide proper funding to the civil justice system through a policy which requires civil courts to be self-financing. This book considers the state of the civil justice system in England and Wales and suggests urgent changes that are required to improve the way they function.
