This is one of three submissions made by PLP to the Commission on Justice in Wales, focusing on digitalisation and justice in Wales.

Evidence for the Commission on Justice in Wales on digitalisation and justice in Wales

The other submissions concern judicial review in Wales, and the effects of LASPO on civil legal aid in Wales.

This submission addresses three core points on digitalisation in the context of justice: (a) the nature of digitalisation in the justice context; (b) the experience with the digitalisation of tribunals under the ongoing HMCTS reform programme, in order to provide an example of some of the key issues arising in government-led digitalisation reforms; and (c) the possible benefits and disadvantages that digitalisation presents in Wales in particular.
