Proceeding contribution from Stephen Phillips (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 29 March 2011. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Reforming Civil Justice.


Reforming Civil Justice

As those of us still practising can tell my right hon. and learned Friend, the costs associated with civil litigation are of just as much concern in higher value claims as they are in lower value claims, particularly to British businesses which need their rights adjudicated upon. In many jurisdictions, including some in the United States, mediation is compulsory in all civil cases. Will he consider ensuring that that is the position in England and Wales as well?
