Abstract
Abstract It is sometimes said that converts are more zealous than those brought up in the faith. Zealots cause alarm, even in the breasts of the devout. They disturb believers by forcing them to re-examine the depths of their own faith; further, they are not easily distinguished from misguided fanatics. It is not disrespectful to say that Lord Woolf is a convert to case flow management (CFM). His zeal for CFM, exhibited in every chapter of his Interim Report, is strikingly apparent. Indeed, without exaggeration it can be said that CFM is the linch-pin of the whole of the Report. Court control of case progress is the basic principle of CFM. Of all the many proposals put forward none is more important than the recommendation that there should be ‘a fundamental transfer in the responsibility for the management of civil litigation from litigants and their legal advisers to the courts’.
