The Master of the Rolls has appointed Lord Justice Jackson to lead a fundamental review into the costs of civil litigation.
Bridget Prentice MP, Minister for Justice, said; "The Ministry of Justice welcomes the Review of Civil Costs announced by the Master of the Rolls today. I look forward to receiving and considering Lord Justice Jackson's findings in due course.
I would like to make clear that the review is not intended to, and will not, delay progress on the various specific initiatives that are currently being taken forward on civil costs.
