Looking at excessive litigation costs and time delays as techniques in themselves by which a party can force settlement is a distortion of what the civil justice system is intended to be.
Some time ago, the Law Tribune Editorial Board addressed the question of civil litigation reform; of the need to reduce the costs and delays that plague the administration of Connecticut’s civil justice system; of the need fully to re-open the courts to the public; and of the need for disputes to be resolved on the merits of their causes rather than as a byproduct of the frustration created by the system’s administrative flaws. We do not mean to imply that this is a problem that has been ignored. Most sectors of the bar and judiciary recognize the need for reform. Efforts have been and are being made to address the concerns that were raised.
