After some, shall we say “adverse”, comments on the way that the Civil Procedure Rules are presented on the government website the “old” site has has been given a reprieve.
ON THE JUSTICE WEBSITE
The Rules are still available here.
THE OFFICIAL EXPLANATION
The change was explained in a series of tweets from David Wolfson QC (a minister in the Ministry of Justice).
“While we work to improve the CPR pages on the main http://gov.uk site, we’ve removed the redirects from http://justice.gov.uk. The original pages are again accessible and operable. I hope that deals with the immediate access to justice issue.
Going forward, we are working on several improvements to the http://gov.uk site, and I’ll provide updates in due course. In particular, the CPR will be more easily viewable as a single document and also searchable. And we are looking at the Family PRs too.
In doing that work, we’ve considered all the various suggestions and comments made in this and related threads, for which thanks again. We won’t please everyone – not least because some suggestions contradict others (as might be expected from lawyers).
We are determined to make sure that Rules of court and related practice directions remain easily accessible to everyone, and not just (but including) lawyers. That’s an important part of a society governed by the #RuleOfLaw.”
