Litigation Trends Survey - The Jackson Effect

In the first of NLJ / LSLA's litigation trends surveys, James Baxter charts how firms and practitioners are navigating Jackson LJ's revolutionary road-map of change.

Barely seven months have passed since the implementation of the controversial Jackson Review, the biggest shake-up of civil litigation in a generation. While few could deny that the cost of justice and its proportionality to the issues at stake required urgent examination, the resulting reforms appear to have done little to convince disputes lawyers that positive change will be readily achieved. Indeed, the results of the inaugural NLJ/LSLA Litigation Trends Survey paint a gloomy picture of the impact of many of the key tenets of Lord Justice Jackson’s reforms.
