Many of the revelations about Common Platform come from Justice on Trial, a documentary recently broadcast on BBC Radio 4. In it, the lawyers revealed that as a group, they need to develop more than 100 workarounds to deal with Common Platform flaws, and that more are discovered every week. (The Justice Department says the number is closer to 14.) Woodward pointed out that lawyers often have to use both the old system and the faulty common platform for cases that started before the introduction of the new software, which still accounts for a significant percentage of their work due to the backlog of cases in UK courts. (Once all old cases are resolved, which will likely take years, the common platform should be the default system for all new cases.) Not only will people not trust the new system if it continues to be unfit for purpose, Woodward argued, “but they will start to bore it because it represents extra work.” We call on the government to address the problems of our crumbling criminal justice system by adopting our policy recommendations. “We will continue to work closely with staff to support them in this transition and would like to thank all the judges, court staff and others who contributed to the design and implementation.” Im 17. In the nineteenth century, the jury had ceased to determine the facts of the case and had the sole task of deciding whether the accused was guilty beyond a reasonable doubt, while the judge was charged with deliberating the jury on the relevant law. The jury system is considered an integral part of the legal system, although only 1 per cent of criminal cases are brought before a jury; In the public sphere in the UK, jurors are more trustworthy than judges, judges or ministers, and the right to a jury trial is seen as even more important than the right to protest politically. However, other countries have very different systems.
In some countries, such as France, the jury and judge sit together to determine guilt, while in others the decision rests entirely with a judge or jury. In the United Kingdom, the use of juries is seen as a valuable check on governmental power and a means of enshrining the law in the Community. The arguments against juries suggest that they may not have the knowledge to understand the complex issues they face and that they may be influenced by their own biases. The civil justice system aims to resolve disputes between individuals or organizations that deal with an individual`s private law or that involve areas of law such as tort, contract law, corporate law, intellectual property law, media and communications, tax law and family law. Mulholland said he was also concerned about the increase in the number of alleged victims who “refuse to cooperate with police because they feel they are not being treated appropriately.” One. Access to justice: The primary purpose of access to justice is to improve people`s chances of substantive justice by giving them access to the justice system before they even have a chance to obtain justice. According to Francioni, access to justice is the ability to take a case to court for decision, and this is the main problem of the justice system in the UK. Many who work in the British justice system believe it is in crisis.
Members of the PCS union, whose courts use the Common Platform, were due to begin a week-long strike on September 10 against the new system, but it was postponed due to the Queen`s death. Low-income people do not have access to legal advice and do not have to pay higher premiums than they can afford. The reform of English disclosure is more controversial. Disclosure is arguably one of the great strengths of the English legal system: British fair play in action. However, disclosure is of course costly and intrusive: huge amounts of physical and electronic records must be retained, compiled, and then thoroughly searched for relevant records.
