    Judicial Redress

    In view of the operations by the courts on a wider canvas of judicial review, a potent weapon was forged by the Supreme Court by way of public interest litigation (PIL) also known as social action litigation. The Supreme Court has ruled that where judicial redress is sought in respect of a legal injury or a legal wrong suffered by persons, who by reason of their poverty or disability are unable to approach the court for enforcement of their fundamental rights, any member of the public, acting bona fide can maintain an action for judicial redress. Thus, the underprivileged and the downtrodden have secured access to court through the agency of a public-spirited person or organization. This weapon was effectively used by the Supreme Court and…

    Access To Justice Application Essay

    In 2011, the Access to Justice Review, as commissioned by the Minister, stated that “access to justice is an indispensable feature of a democratic society committed to fair and equal treatment”. I could not agree more. The key driver in encouraging and accommodating such access is the law, a vital component affecting all layers of our society. I am particularly interested in how the law is constantly developing, carefully mended by the legal profession to ease the blur between right and wrong, and facilitating our daily lives. These three observations form the foundation of my enthusiasm to study the Bachelor in Law.…
