    The primary recommendation of this report is for a new Right to Justice Act.

    The Right to Justice Act would establish:

    • A new individual right to reasonable legal assistance, without costs individuals cannot afford

    • The basis for this new right to be enforceable through the courts

    • A set of guiding principles to sit behind the new right, including the importance of early legal help, public legal education, and the smooth operation of the system

    • A new, independent body called the Justice Commission, whose function is to advise on, monitor and enforce the right to justice.
    The responsibilities and powers of the Justice Commission should include the requirement/power to:

    • Prepare statutory guidance with respect to the implementation of the right to justice

    • Monitor compliance with the new right to justice, issuing regular reports and recommendations to parliament

    • Challenge perceived infringements of the right to justice through the courts

    • Intervene in, and assist with, individual court proceedings that will enforce and define the right to justice in practice
