MR predicts future

There will be ‘no more paper in the county courts’ by 2024, the Master of the Rolls, Sir Geoffrey Vos, has said

Giving the Sir Brian Neill Lecture to the Society of Computers and Law last week, Sir Geoffrey highlighted impending changes. For example, the growth of blockchain technology was ‘unstoppable’, and ‘personal injury claims will look very different when every car records its every move on-chain’.

Looking to the next 20 years, he said ‘the great prize in the coming generation’ would be to work out how national justice systems could work efficiently alongside technologies without borders.
