The Law Society has responded to the Online Procedure Rule Committee's (OPRC) public engagement document on the digital justice system's inclusion framework and pre-action model.
The OPRC aims to improve access to justice by utilizing digital technology in the pre-action space, civil and family courts, and tribunals.
The draft framework sets out design principles and standards to ensure all users can access digital justice services, particularly those at risk of exclusion.
The OPRC was established to make rules governing the practice and procedure for specific types of online court and tribunal proceedings.
