FOCUS OF THE DAY: 'The rule of law is an empty concept without access to justice'. The president of the Law Society has used his appearance at the Global Law Summit (GLS) to reinforce his opposition to government's reforms to the legal system. Speaking at a plenary session at the GLS on the globalisation of sport, Andrew Caplen said: "The major theme that I have taken as president is the all-important subject of access to justice. This is of great relevance as we celebrate the 800th anniversary of the sealing of Magna Carta. Magna Carta is rightly regarded as being the foundation of the rule of law in this country.

1157th Edition: LawNewsIndex is a UK based Law, Justice, Legislation & Rights related daily news& legal articles archive brought to you by TheLawMap

FOCUS OF THE DAY: Is knowledge power? In a legal context, the answer is yes. The monopoly over legal knowledge and know how is still the preserve of the legal elite, the future of law no longer however allows for the same. Information, both transparent and simple, is crucial. Does it suit lawyers that legalese is unnecessarily complicated? Do we enjoy the obscurity it engenders? In light of legal aid cuts do we not owe it to the public to cut out the legalese and promote access to justice?  Full story - The HuffPost

24th February - Law News

1156th Edition: LawNewsIndex is a UK based Law, Justice, Legislation & Rights related daily news& legal articles archive brought to you by TheLawMap

FOCUS OF THE DAY: The Law Society has instructed Kingsley Napley to bring legal action against the Government over court fee hikes that it claims are “tantamount to selling justice”. The body has launched proceedings for a judicial review to challenge ministers’ plans to raise court fees by up to 600 per cent for claimants using the civil, family and commercial courts. In its application for judicial review, the Law Society claims the Government is “proceeding without evidence to justify the increases” and “failed to allow representations on enhanced fees in combination with amendments to the remissions scheme”.
