The objective of this Guide is to inform forward-looking best practices through a comparative analysis of member countries and to soberly align efficiency with the enduring constitutional values underlying the administration of justice.
Without a doubt, nimble, well-designed case management systems, alongside transformative technology, not only facilitate and support effective court proceedings, but also allow for the modernisation of justice.
The purpose of A Commonwealth Guide to Case Management is to provide principled and practical guidance to the judiciary and to responsible policy-makers on justice modernisation and case management.
A well-designed case management system supports the numerous activities required to facilitate effective management of court proceedings and promote more efficient execution of court administration engendering efficacious access to justice. A Commonwealth Guide to Case Management promotes the efficient handling of disputes by Commonwealth judicial systems and the dissemination of Commonwealth best practices. The Guide will aid the adoption of improved case management systems across the Commonwealth by promoting principles of good case management, the use of technology, law, and procedure.
