Government welcomes no-win no-fee reform proposals
In a recent parliamentary question and answer session, secretary of state for justice, Jack Straw praised Jackson’s 550-page report for its "thoroughness and imagination" and supported the idea of reducing civil litigation costs, saying "those costs have risen too high, and that is a bar to proper access to justice". read more
