Closed Civil law reform

Closed on

Too long has our justice system failed to protect the people.
Most of us live in a world where we simply can not afford it!
If you require legal help in a civil matter and cannot pay for it you have to represent your self and our court system is such that knowledge of the process and procedures becomes more important than the issue.
There are crimes that if committed in the guise of a registered UK company this act becomes a civil matter. As such the majority of us are incapable of obtaining justice in our civil courts when the opposition is well funded e.g. a large company.
I would like you to sign this so our government changes the way civil law works in the UK to ensure that our civil courts are made fair with equal support and knowledge on both sides and decisions made on evidence beyond reasonable doubt not hearsay.
