Systems of civil justice comprise both rules of civil procedure and the organization of the court system. These rules, in addition to determining how cases get to and move through the courts, serve the broader purpose of ensuring the fair resolution of disputes in an efficient manner and providing for judicial intervention and creativity where appropriate. Beyond mere dispute resolution, civil procedure offers a means of balancing incentives and disincentives to litigation. If litigation is too costly or too complex to practise, then access to justice is compromised. Conversely, if litigation is too cheap or too accessible, the court system may be overburdened, and the costs of the administration of justice will rise. |
