The Right Hon. Sir Geoffrey Vos sets out an online future for Civil Justice

Speaking at London International Disputes Week this week, the Right Hon. Sir Geoffrey Vos told delegates why he is so committed to a wholly new online system for dispute resolution.

He concluded by saying "There will be a cohesive online funnel with a large number of cases starting online and being resolved by integrated Alternative Dispute Resolution mechanisms leaving a few to enter the court system – also online – and ultimate judicial resolution where necessary. This will, I emphasise, be transformational in terms of access to justice."

For Experts, it seems that Virtual Hearings and e-bundles are here to stay. But that there may also be additional changes around the corner in the way that some cases are handled in future.
