The chief justice of Canada’s Supreme Court says the legal system risks a loss of public faith unless barriers to public access to the courts, especially for civil matters, are lowered… “Being able to access justice is fundamental to the rule of law. If people decide they can’t get justice, they will have less respect for the law”… the issue is especially relevant to civil courts, where there are not enough judges, lawyers are expensive… and there are delays.
