‘In 2018, Sir Ernest Ryder warned that the future shift to online dispute resolution for most, and in some areas all disputes, risks eroding judicial accountability and fostering a democratic deficit. The pandemic, the £1.3 billion court modernisation program and six years later, the future of resolving the majority of disputes online appears to be much closer. The implementation of a truly holistic Digital Justice System – an integrated system of online advice services, online public and private out-of-court dispute resolution services (mediation and arbitration portals, ombuds services) and online courts – can make this future a reality. In fact, it is expressly intended that the majority of civil, family, and tribunal disputes will be settled or resolved online through the Digital Justice System, in accordance with rules specifically developed by the Online Procedure Rule Committee (OPRC) to cover the online pre-action and action space. It is also notable that such a system of various online private and public portals will have a common data architecture based on the open digital standards developed by OPRC. It is not yet known when this system will become operational, but as we approach such a reality, the potential loss of accountability and democratic deficit needs to be addressed as an extremely urgent threat.’

‘The law on burial and cremation in England and Wales, some of which dates back to the mid-19th century, is complicated and outdated. It has evolved as a patchwork of different laws which apply to different burial grounds depending on who operates them (eg the Church of England, local authorities or private owners). There are also gaps in the law. Burial space is running out, with the situation worst in some urban areas. Grave reuse has long been seen as a solution to this problem, but not all burial grounds are permitted to reuse graves.’

‘The Land Registration Act 2002 was thought to have killed off adverse possession as an active legal mechanism, but the recent case of Brown v Ridley has reopened the debate. The central issue: when is the 10-year period during which the applicant must have a reasonable belief to satisfy paragraph 5(4) of schedule 6? This is one of the three conditions which an applicant must satisfy if the registered title owner objects to the application for adverse possession.’

‘In this ‘in conversation’ with Colleen Simon and John Mitchell, we talk about a recently published discussion paper about the ways in which Approved Mental Health Professionals (‘AMHPs’) undertake their statutory role of ‘considering’ patient’s cases under s.13 MHA 1983, and why it is dangerous to think of an ‘MHA assessment’ as a single event. We also think about what could be done differently even in advance of any law reforms that might take place in this area.’
