Lord Woolf

Lord Woolf, a former Lord Chief Justice of England and Wales, is known for his reforms to improve the justice system. He advocated for more efficient, accessible courts by simplifying procedures, reducing delays, and encouraging alternative dispute resolution methods like mediation. His 1996 report, called the Woolf Reforms, aimed to make civil justice quicker, less costly, and more user-friendly, ensuring people could resolve disagreements fairly and effectively without undue burden. These changes have had a lasting impact on the UK legal system, promoting fairness and efficiency in civil litigation.
