Civil Court Users Association (CCUA) has responded to the Online Procedure Rule Committee’s (OPRC) public engagement document relating to its proposed inclusion framework and pre-action model for the digital justice system.
The CCUA supports the broad principles of Chapter 2 of the Judicial Review and Courts Act 2022 where it covers the aims of an online procedure for the initiation, progression, conduct, and disposal of court proceedings. Any steps which will enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of the court is to be welcomed where, currently (in particular) the County Court suffers from a surfeit of paper and inherent delays throughout its processes and procedures.
