Following a recommendation of the Law Commission the Committee on Personal Injuries Litigation was appointed by the Lord Chancellor in January 1966 under the chairmanship of the Right Honourable Lord Justice Winn, C.B., O.B.E. Its terms of reference were to consider the jurisdiction and procedure of the courts in actions for personal injuries; and in particular to consider whether such actions as are at present required to be brought in the High Court should be capable of being brought in courts having a simpler and more speedy procedure; whether the liability of the defendant and the assessment of damages should be dealt with independently, and what measures are practicable to avoid duplication of proceedings where both civil and criminal liability is involved. The report of the Committee was published in July 1968 (Cmnd. 3691).
