(d)
One of the solicitors' firm :-
"To be successful, active case management by Judges will require significant extra judicial
resources. This will also include significant extra IT resources (still as yet to be fully
implemented in England). ...... Inadequate judicial training will result in inconsistencies in the
exercise of case management powers, thereby resulting in more applications for leave to
appeal or to appeals themselves."
(e)
The other firm of solicitors :-
"...... until the judiciary and judicial officers have been trained, and adequate resources are
available and being utilised correctly, the reforms should not be brought into force."
The need for training and adequate resources was recognized by many of the judges
and masters who responded. For example :-
(a)
One judge stated :-
"There is ...... a material disparity of approach by judges to case management and to costs
within the present system. The approach ranges from the very lax to the tight. A new system
which is administered with the same disparity will not achieve its objective."
(b)
A master commented :-
"The success of any reform depends very much upon the knowledge and willingness of key
players to implement the reform. There is no way except training to achieve that goal."
