The Ministry of Justice says it has reopened old web links to procedure rules and halted their automatic redirection to a new website in an olive branch to frustrated litigants.
Lord Wolfson QC, the government’s justice spokesman in the House of Lords, said that redirects from the old justice.gov.uk site will be disabled, with users no longer taken to the gov.uk while that is being worked on. The original pages are again accessible and operable.
The
Gazette reported last week that litigants and lawyers were having difficulties navigating the new site and getting easy access to the rules and paragraphs they were searching for. Links included for specific passages in electronic bundles for the old site were also directing people to generic pages.
