6.1
The consultation response
Proposal 6 was generally supported by the twenty-odd respondents who addressed the
issue. Only one respondent indicated opposition but gave no reasons. Several
suggested that it might be sufficient to introduce a single mode of commencing
proceedings. One qualification advanced
was that the modes of commencement in
specialist proceedings, such as company cases, should be preserved.
In our view, the law as it stands is unnecessarily complicated and changes should be
made with a view to simplifying the way in which a case is commenced. How and to
what extent such simplification should be attempted requires the present position to be
examined more closely.
