From the day this blog started there has always been a link to the Civil Procedure Rules. These were available, in an easily accessible form, on the Ministry of Justice website. They may still be there - but not for long. Accessibility to the rules have been moved to a much less accessible version...
I couldn’t agree more. This new layout is awful and make word find/search exercises extremely difficult to the point that I’m getting the White Book on even the most simple rule searches. BRINBG BACK THE OLD SYSTEM !!!
I haven’t tried to access the new system yet, but am greatly concerned that it will no longer be possible to direct LIPs to the current (previous) website, which I have always found easy to use and understand.
Thank goodness for your blog…I honestly thought I was going mad!
The new layout is truly awful couldn’t find anything yesterday without searching for it specifically. That’s not going to assist access to justice…!!
“It is a mystery why these steps should be taken with, apparently, no real thought of the consequences and their impact upon access to justice.”
There’s no mystery. They simply don’t care.
