OPRC Consultation Response
The Law Society has responded to the Online Procedure Rule Committee's (OPRC) public engagement document on the inclusion framework and pre-action model for the digital justice system.
The OPRC aims to improve access to justice by utilizing modern digital technology in the pre-action space, civil and family courts, and tribunals.
Draft Inclusion Framework
The draft framework sets out design principles and standards to ensure all users can access and engage with digital justice services, particularly those at risk of exclusion.
- 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.
