Five years on from the implementation of the Civil Procedure Rules (CPR) discusses whether they have achieved their objectives. Covers approaches to forms of alternative dispute resolution, particularly mediation. Refers to statistics which show that the volume of claims has gone down by a huge amount and suggests some explanations for this including the fact that there has been a greater resort to pre-action negotiation leading to settlement. Considers other forms of alternative dispute resolution and the discussions about whether they should be compulsory.
