<strong>Labour</strong> will consider the<br />
reinstatement of other legal aid<br />
entitlements after receiving the final<br />
recommendations of the Access to<br />
ustice Commission led by Lord Bach.<br />
The justice system can be bewildering<br />
and intimidating. There are many<br />
improvements that can be made both<br />
to the law and to the court processes.<br />
<strong>Labour</strong> will introduce a no-fault<br />
divorce procedure.<br />
<strong>Labour</strong> will not prohibit the courts<br />
from raising monies to provide<br />
services, but we will introduce a<br />
ratio to establish the maximum<br />
difference between actual costs<br />
and charges levied.<br />
<strong>Labour</strong> will continue to etend<br />
the use of technology in our court<br />
service where it enhances access to<br />
justice, timely dispute resolution and<br />
efficient administration.<br />
<strong>Labour</strong> government will consult<br />
on establishing an environmental<br />
tribunal with simplified procedures<br />
to hear challenges to unlawful<br />
government decisions, like those<br />
made on the air quality strategy,<br />
without engaging in prohibitively<br />
expensive processes.<br />
