Advantages of Law Reform

1. Why is expert research important in law reform?

A possible reform or change in law is researched by legal experts as all 5 commissioners have a legal background.

2. Why is consultation important in the law reform process?

There is an opportunity to consult with interested parties before finalising proposals.

3. What is meant by the scope of reform?

Whole areas of law can be considered, not just small issues.

4. What is meant by single Act reform?

If Parliament enacts the reform of a whole area of law, then the law is in one Act e.g. Land Registration Act 2002 and is easier to find and understand.

5. How does reform lead to simplification and modernisation?

Reform can simplify and modernise the law.
