HHJ David Marshall Evans, "Access To Justice", The Liverpool Law Review xix/1 (1997), 37-45: The author stresses the importance of the civil justice system and applauds the intentions of the Woolf report. He fears that implementation will be selective and the selection heavily influenced by the costs of individual proposals. He queries whether the framework of the recommendations is as radical as it at first appears, and whether the central proposals for fast-track cases may not increase the risk of injustice. He suggests that the changes to the system of costs will have complex and unforeseeable effects, and that the new unified rules will take a long time to settle down with much procedural manoeuvring in the course of the process.
