Project No. 26(I)
Commenced: 1971
Completed: 1982
| The project initially arose out of a submission to government by the Law Society of Western Australia. The Society was concerned about the lack of coordination in the existing appellate arrangements in the administrative law area. There are a number of important generic reasons for reform of this kind: the rise in the volume of litigation; pressure in the funding of courts in comparison to the with the volume of work done; the need for courts to show that they provide value for money in servicing the legal needs of the public; the heightened scrutiny of courts as public institutions delivering measurable incomes within the framework of the legal system; and pressure for greater accountability and transparency. |
