Ministry of Justice
Anew department and a new site:

It took over responsibilities from:

  • Department for Constitutional Affairs
  • National Offender Management Service
  • Office for Criminal Justice Reform
This is from the Practitioner section of their website:
Guidance:

Guidance for members of the judiciary, legal practitioners and other interested professionals which covers a wide range of policy areas, including procedure rules, freedom of information and human rights.

Civil procedure rules
The civil procedure rules make up a procedural code whose overriding aim is to enable the courts to deal with cases justly.
Criminal procedures rules
The criminal procedure rules give courts explicit powers to actively manage the preparation of criminal cases waiting to be heard, to get rid of unfair and avoidable delays.
Family procedure rules
The family procedure rules will, when fully implemented, be a single set of rules for all family proceedings in the high court, county courts and magistrates courts.
