The Courts and Civil Law (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2022 was published on 13 September. The purpose of this Bill is to fulfil the commitment to statutory reforms outlined in the Department of Justice’s 2021 Action Plan under Action 69 to ‘progress the centralisation and automation of court offices and processes through the publication of the Courts and Civil Law (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill’.

The Bill also provides for a number of other important matters. The Office of Parliamentary Counsel, working with my Department, will continue to draft a number of other important amendments as agreed by Government, including those amending the Occupiers’ Liability Act 1995, which I hope to introduce at Committee Stage.
