1 The Committee was dissolved on 1.4.2020. The Committee has been monitoring the work of the reformed civil justice system for ten years. Findings and statistics on the implementation of the Civil Justice Reform (“CJR”) from 2009 to 2019 were published every year on the CJR webpage. On the whole, the implementation of CJR continues to be smooth and satisfactory, and the relevant reforms have become a normal part of civil procedures. The greater use of mediation, more sanctioned payments and more summary assessment of costs are particularly seen as the effective outcomes of the CJR.
