Can Britain's legal system successfully transition to a fully digital court model?
In short: Legal commentator Joshua Rozenberg examines the progress of the UK government's ambitious plan to digitize civil and family courts. This lecture evaluates the reality behind a billion-pound investment intended to modernize dispute resolution and asks if the promise of online justice is finally within reach.
In 2017, the British government initiated a project to introduce innovative digital methods for resolving civil and family disputes. This initiative, supported by a £1bn investment, aimed to overhaul the traditional court system in England and Wales. However, the necessary legislation faced delays of over a year, and internal concerns emerged regarding the project's operational difficulties.
Recorded on February 21, 2019, this lecture by Joshua Rozenberg KC—an honorary bencher at Gray's Inn and honorary Queen's Counsel—provides a critical assessment of the progress made. Rozenberg explores whether these technological efforts have successfully delivered on their goal of creating a functional online justice system.
