Law Reform Committee

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This article is about the body established in 1952 and is not to be confused with theLaw Commission for England and Wales, established in 1965.

TheLaw Reform Committee was a committee inEngland and Wales appointed by theLord Chancellor[1] "to consider, having regard especially to judicial decisions, what changes are desirable in such legal doctrines as the Lord Chancellor may from time to time refer to Committee".[2]

TheLord Chancellor's decision to create this committee was announced on 2 May 1952 by the Attorney General,Lionel Heald, at the dinner of the West Surrey Law Society. The Solicitors Journal said that the proposed step was "overdue".[3] The Committee was appointed on 16 June 1952.[4] In 2006, John Wheeler said that the Committee was "defunct".[5]
