Media Statement on Release of Report
The Rules Committee has completed the Improving Access to Civil Justice Report. The Report is a result of the Committee's review of the rules of court for the purpose of improving access to civil justice begining in late 2019.
The Committee thanks all those who submitted as part of the consultation process.
The Report involves recommendations that differ from proposals consulted upon in some respects, particularly in relation to the proposals for the High Court. This was, in part, due to submissions received by the Committee. In the circumstances, the Committee welcomes further submissions on the recommendations, and will take those submissions into account when deciding upon the implementation of its recommendations for changes to the rules at its first meeting next year. Submissions should be with the Committee by Friday 24 February 2023 and should be sent to RulesCommittee@justice.govt.nz.
