Law Reform Commission proposes law update for efficiency

BANGKOK, 24 March 2015 (NNT) – The Law and Justice System Reform Commission has proposed a judicial reformation framework to the NRC, ensuring efficient and timely principles that will eradicate inequality in case trials.

The National Reform Council's (NRC) meeting begun at 10 today, focusing on the consideration of a report from the Law and Justice System Reform Commission on topics such as the reformation on the law and justice system, inspection period in cases, and the appropriate use of state power.

The Chairman of the Law and Justice System Reform Commission summarized the commission’s suggestion, identifying that the many editions of the current law results in an increased inequality in today's society, and judicial proceedings have many standards when it comes to enforcement.

He said that this matter causes disorder in the society when combined with corruption, with the public likely not to receive fairness. Therefore, the law that is accepted and obeyed by the public should be established.

The Law and Justice System Reform Commission has proposed 15 reform suggestions to be presented to the government, such as the fair enforcement of the law, the eradication of social inequalities, and strict law enforcement that leads to discipline among the public for the unity and reconciliation.

Meanwhile, the NRC has increased the frequency of the weekly meetings from 2 to 3 meeting per week, on Monday to Wednesday in order to speed up the consideration process on reports from 18 reform commissions. The reform roadmap must be completed before early June, which it will then be presented to the government.

You don't have to rush, NRC, we are all right as we are now.

The longer this government is in power the more good will be done for the Thai people.

So take your time, nobody is pushing you.

...ensuring efficient and timely principles that will eradicate inequality in case trials

These principles are common practice for a long time already:

You are an influential person? You go!

You are not an influential figure, VIP, or celebrity? You pay and go!

Agreed, Costas:in fact we should add: "This is most certainly a subject which deserves to be done and be done well" - because the legal system in Thailand, with all respect, needs major overhauls, not only in the 'laws' (Statutes) themselves, but also in the phraseology it employs.

It could also do with a thorough overhaul of its procedures which are unjust. For a start the principle of costs should be incorporated to discourage frivolous claims and adjournments and to recompense the injured party. There are a slew of other issues which I shall not bore everyone with here.

I notice where there are 10,000 laws on the books. Many of them came about as a result of a coup. How can you understand let alone enforce this many laws. Better to start over.

You are so right!

With martial law in place, NRC needn't worry at all about rushing to reform the legal system. Your friend the NCPO is there to handle any situation through its absolute power over the Thai people's rights and liberties. The NCPO will ensure that Prayut's Rule of Law needn't be concerned about equality or fair access. The more that the Thai people learn to appreciate warrantless arrests, interrogation at military secret locations, and torturing, the better they will understand the importance for delay.

Shall we start from the Ten Commandments?
