Problems before Wolsey
- Verdicts favoured those who had the most money and influence
Solution to the problem
- Set a clear signal that no one was to be about the law
- increased the court's work rate
- oversaw many cases in person
- made the reasons for his decisions public
- supported the poor against the rich
- encouraged the poor
Consequences or the solution (positive and negative)
- still criticised - some believed his main intention was to get revenge on the upper classes.
- strengthened the legal system
