No win, no fee solicitors and Europe-wide trust in justice

Any no win, no fee solicitor in the UK - or anyone thinking of appointing one to their compensation claim - may find the Ministry of Justice's 2008 research into trust in the justice system of interest.

What this study sets out to discover is the level of trust across Europe in each country's system of justice. Taking its data from several existing sets of survey results, which include opinions on criminal law as well as on personal injury law, it draws what conclusions it can from this extrapolation while registering that the results must be taken with a pinch of salt, as the surveys supplying the raw data were designed to a different end.

With that in mind, however, its results suggest that public opinion on the law has not changed too much in the years running up to the report. While there are levels of dissatisfaction, these normally relate to cost and duration of compensation claims or criminal cases.

The fairness of the system is generally well-respected, with belief in that fairness rising with the level of education of the person asked.

The trust levels in the UK are fairly average compared with those in other European countries; generally, it seems the Belgian levels of trust are lower than those in this country, and those in the Netherlands higher.

The authors conclude with a suggestion that the report can be improved by beginning a focused survey, rather than relying on previously gathered data. This, they argue, should have "a focus on issues such as equity and equal treatment, perceptions of judges and judicial decision-making, and relations between social, cultural and personal values in general and the perceived values of the justice system."
