With the UK potentially emerging from a truly challenging period for access to justice and the rule of law, PLP and others revisit strategic litigation. What does it mean, what can it achieve and how do you go about it? The term ‘strategic litigation’ concerns the decision to go to court, or to support certain legal cases, where these cases could secure significant changes in the law, practice and policy, or public awareness around an issue. They are ‘wide effect’. This training day aims to familiarise participants with history, definitions, practice and common features around strategic litigation. Most of the emphasis will be around its use by NGOs. Who is the event for?
