Apparently, from their reported behaviour, most of the judiciary now see themselves as some kind of quasi social workers rather than as their primary duty being to protect the public and their property from law breakers.
Together with the emasculation of the police, security is becoming a great business to be in.
teamlegalz raised the issue of the judiciary in the first comment below on this topic. In a somewhat similar fashion, the judiciary is undermining the powers of parliament to enact laws. One only has to look at the Churchman decision concerning ownership of a 40km length of coastline. His decision completely overrides the intent of the law as enacted by parliament. In effect, he has substituted his personal opinion and agenda for the intention of the Act of Parliament.
The judiciary is there to apply the law not make it. Society to a very large extent depends on public confidence in the judicial system. If this confidence is undermined we will turned into state of anarchy. Is this the intent…
Absolutely😄.Yes indeed the MACA garbage Hmmm and I understand Powell J. was in on this fiasco too and they inanely think the Tikanga (stone age Code Napoleon) B/S is paramount-unbelievable reasoning. FITH methinks. LOL
Yep we should never have got rid of the Privy Council .😐
That just about sums up the JUDGES IDEAS these days. Don’t worry about the poor victims of the crimes
What is needed is a Leader. A Real leader. Not like the current managers in the Beehive.
We are turning into a nasty unlawful country, with the state supporting a certain group at the expensive of the majority of law abiding citizens.
