Scottish Ministers are inviting views on proposals for primary legislation aimed at increasing access to justice by enhancing funding options and creating greater predictability and certainty in relation to the costs of litigation.
Executive Summary
Scottish Ministers are consulting on plans to create a more accessible, affordable and equitable civil justice system for Scotland. We are seeking views on proposals to introduce primary legislation aimed at increasing access to justice by making the costs of court action more predictable; increasing the funding options for pursuers of civil actions; and to introduce a greater level of equality to the funding relationship between claimants and defenders in personal injury actions.
