Canadian Forum on Civil Justice Factsheet on Everyday Legal Problems and the Cost of Justice in Canada

The Canadian Forum on Civil Justice has published a factsheet on Everyday Legal Problems and the Cost of Justice in Canada whose content comes from a 2014 survey of 3,000 Canadians aged 18 and over:

"It is the first Canadian study of its kind to explore what everyday legal problems cost Canadians – not just in dollars, but in time and opportunity costs, costs to their physical and mental health, and costs to their livelihood."

"The survey is part of the larger 5 year Cost of Justice project, which examines the social and economic costs of Canada’s justice system. It is guided by two questions: What is the cost of delivering access to justice? And, what is the cost of not delivering access to justice?"

More details about the Cost of Justice project are available on the Forum's website.
