A major call for evidence has been launched by the UK Government seeking views on the best ways to settle business, individual, family and other civil disputes without the stress and cost of a court case.
Responses will shape future reforms to civil, family and administrative justice and will examine whether new technologies, as well as services such as mediation and conciliation, could provide smarter and less adversarial routes for finding resolutions.
Litigation will always remain as an option open to everyone, and some cases will inevitably require people to go to court.
The consultation closes on 30 September 2021.
