Online momentum

The inaugural master of the rolls, Sir Geoffrey Vos, has set out his vision for civil justice reform which would see claimants start all claims online, creating a ‘single transferrable data set’ before entering a digital court process, the Law Society Gazette reported.

But he acknowledged there will be larger or more intractable problems” that will still require lawyers.
