INTRODUCTION
“… On the one hand, certainty in the law is an interest of great importance especially in the area of commercial law. So too, the fundamental values of or underpinning the common law are, I hope, immutable: the rule of law, fairness, open justice and so on. That is not, however, to reject change; anything but. Change is a constant; it is integral to the development of the common law itself, as it adapts to new circumstances. It is essential if English Law and London are to maintain and enhance their world leading positions in international dispute resolution. It is or ought to be central to the manner in which justice is delivered where, put bluntly, it would be bizarre to ignore technology enabled developments. In short, we should welcome and help shape the changes which must be made …”
