The Law Commission is a statutory independent body. We aim:
- to ensure that the law is as fair, modern, simple and as cost-effective as possible
- to conduct research and consultations in order to make systematic recommendations for consideration by Parliament, and
- to codify the law, eliminate anomalies, repeal obsolete and unnecessary enactments and reduce the number of separate statutes.
