Woolf Reforms

The Woolf Reforms, introduced in 2009 by Lord Woolf, aimed to modernize and improve the UK civil justice system. They focused on making courts more accessible, faster, and cost-effective by simplifying procedures, encouraging early settlement, and promoting the use of technology. The reforms also established the Civil Procedure Rules to standardize processes across courts, increasing efficiency and transparency. Overall, the goal was to reduce delays, lower legal costs, and ensure fairer, more efficient resolution of civil disputes.
