  Actually sounds like a good idea to me, within good reason of course.

  from reading the times earlier, the thing is a judge can stop individual actions to hold up the process as good judges do, and the law society can remove firms from its list if they promote the use of tactics that extend trials to the point of failure
  
  whatever happened to people being able to pick their own defence

  yes, just on the same day as the bomb scare coincidently, with no public consultation either
  
  scary

  
  Actually if you read the article it said six days ago
  

  The proposals were published quietly by the Department for Constitutional Affairs without any press notice six days ago.

  
  And this is the public consultation

  It even says so on the front page.
  
  Now that's not to defend it being published without a press notice, but in one sentence you got two facts wrong
