ABSTRACT

The suggestions for reform made in this book cannot be put into force immediately or all at the same time. What I suggest is that small committees be appointed in each jurisdiction to have the oversight of their introduction, or such variation of them as is decided upon. There should be separate committees for civil and criminal matters, but they will need to consult and co-operate. Programmes (with early deadlines) will have to be established. An early matter will be to determine the statutory amendments, and the amendments to regulations and rules that will be necessary. Rules of court will have to be overhauled.1 Panels of experts will have to be established. Preferably this will be done by Supreme Courts for themselves and lower courts. It is probable that quite a few changes, additional to those I have mentioned, will occur to the committees, and in matters of detail they may prefer some changes other than those I have suggested.
