increasing number of people, if they wish to assert their legal rights, may have to do so
without professional help. It is therefore vital to enable them to do so, so far as the
unravelling of unnecessary complexity and the simplification of language can assist.
...... Procedural justice is as important as substantive justice. It must be seen to be
fair. The rules should, therefore, be comprehensible to the parties (whether or not they
are legally represented) and to others who are concerned with the outcome of litigation.
The civil process should command respect, not because it generates a sense of awe or
mystery, but because it is patently fair." (Note 98) |
