Gill Report
The publication of the report of the Scottish Civil Courts Review ("the Gill Report") on Wednesday 30th September 2009 marks the end of over 2 years of investigation by the Review team and the beginning of what seems likely to be major reform of the Scottish civil justice system.
Brodies is proud to be one of Scotland's foremost civil litigation firms and successful reform of the courts will have a direct impact on our own and our clients' business. On these pages we aim to gather together information and comment to guide you through the detail of the report and to provide an insight as to what the proposals might mean for individuals and businesses in Scotland.
The Synopsis, Part 1 and Part 2 of the Gill Report can be accessed via the following links:
Brodies will be commenting on key aspects of the report including:
- cost of litigation
- alternate dispute resolution
- case management and technology
- court procedure
