Abstract: Abstract The author is far too committed to the success of cost reform to express Schadenfreude at any emerging difficulties, but might the situation now be clearer if the outcome had been dictated by a combination of an effective policy driver and a comprehensive research base? This volume does not suggest that in the area of civil justice reform we need research that suggests more research; rather, we need research that is tailored to improve outcomes and offer better choices to policy makers and better outcomes. It accepts that this is likely to be in the context of a set outline policy drive, not a tabula rasa, but the understandable urge to ‘sort out’ our civil justice problems, and particularly costs, should not predicate speed at all costs.
