On 21 November 2001, the Working Party published an Interim Report and
Consultative Paper ("the Interim Report") containing 80 Proposals for consultation.
Some 5,000 copies of the print version and over 500 CD-ROMs were distributed, as
were about 12,000 copies of the Executive Summary. The Working Party's website
received over 41,000 hits, including almost 6,000 download hits (over 1,600 of which
were for downloading the entire Report).
There was a seven-month consultation period during which various public seminars
and briefings were held and almost 100 written submissions received. Details of the
consultation process and of the entities and persons who sent in written submissions
are set out in Appendices 1 and 2 to the Final Report.
Having deliberated on the responses received and drafts of the Final Report, the
Working Party now seeks, in the light of those responses, to identify the areas where
reform is considered necessary or desirable and to make recommendations to the Chief
Justice accordingly. A total of 150 Recommendations are listed in the Final Report.
The Proposals made in the Interim Report and the corresponding Recommendations in
the Final Report are annexed to this Executive Summary.
