The Law Commission creates programmes containing proposals to reform a wide range of laws. We break these down into specific projects that our teams work through. We also identify areas of the law that would benefit from being consolidated and repealed. Finally, we work collaboratively so that our recommendations are implemented into statute.
Programmes
Periodically, we submit a new programme that proposes reforms to a number of different areas of the law. Read how we create them along with details of past programmes.
Projects
Our teams work on a broad range of projects across different areas of the law. Find out more about our current projects, respond to open consultations and read documents from our previous projects.
Law consolidation
Making statute law clearer, more concise and accessible is one of our most important functions. Read how we approach this task as well as our reports on consolidating different areas of the law.
Law repeals
As part of our reforming work, we propose repealing laws that have become obsolete. Discover the benefits of repealing laws and read earlier reports detailing of our recommendations.
Implementing law reforms
Only Parliament is able to change the law so we work collaboratively to ensure our recommendations are implemented. So far, over two thirds of our proposals have made it into statute.
