Chapter 10 in Access to Justice, 2014, pp 106-121 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract The issue of rights is central to jurisprudence. This chapter does not address itself to those philosophical issues but to the apparently more practical issue of how rights might be vindicated effectively and efficiently. The ordinary citizen has a range of potential legal needs, including transactional ones, such as conveyancing, wills and probate, and contentious issues, which may include family disputes; crime; disputes with authorities and recovery of compensation for personal injury; housing issues; consumer matters and defamation. While the non-contentious matters have been largely commoditised and have become affordable by most people, legal services in disputes remain highly expensive and, indeed, beyond the range of most ordinary people’s budgets.1
