Projects

Projects make up the majority of our work to reform the law. They move through a number of different phases before we are ready to deliver a final report.

Find out more about how we work on projects.

Current projects

Our teams work on a number of projects as part of the current law reform programme. These may be in a range of different states, from the preparatory stage through to preparing a final report.

Completed projects

Once we have submitted a final report, we class a project as completed. After this, our recommendations are discussed by the Government before they are put before Parliament.

Implementing our recommendations

We can make recommendations for law reforms, but only Government can change the law through Acts of Parliament.
