OPRC Consultation Response
The Law Society has responded to the Online Procedure Rule Committee's (OPRC) public engagement document on the new inclusion framework and pre-action model for the digital justice system.
The OPRC aims to improve access to justice by utilizing digital technology in the pre-action space, civil and family courts, and tribunals.
Inclusion Framework
The draft inclusion framework outlines design principles and standards to ensure all users, especially those at risk of exclusion, can access digital justice services.
- User-centred design
- Plain language
- Robust data collection to measure inclusion outcomes
The OPRC was established to make rules governing the practice and procedure for specific types of online court and tribunal proceedings.
