In the piece, I pointed to three areas, from the legal practitioners’ perspective, where I thought we might see decisive action from the incoming administration. Those three areas were Judicial Reform, Regulatory Stability and establishment of the Rule of Law.
Supporters of the government will no doubt argue that the government has in its own very peculiar way tried to tackle corruption in the judiciary. And I will readily admit that reform is not just about processes – the best and most efficient processes in the world will matter very little if justice is buyable. Leaving room for the benefit of the doubt as to the sincerity of the government’s intentions however, the saying that the road to hell is paved with good intentions was never more apt.
More importantly, if potential investors are uncertain about the abidingness of contractual terms with government or that orders of court are enforceable, other countries will become the preferred destinations for international business. Even more important is the effect that a disregard for the Rule of Law has on domestic interactions.
What justice have you done to those who are in power that have taken laws into thier hand .
