Chapter 255: Regulation

"You know, a lot of people are going to the courthouse now, the new two-story building at the corner of the street. ”

"Yes, now we have something to rely on, and we don't want to smear them and listen to those government people's blind judgments. ”

"Yes, yes. ”

....

Now the streets are full of voices discussing the court, and this is the result of their earnings. But they themselves were hesitant about it, and they really didn't believe that a judge who didn't even have a baton in his hand could be so powerful.

People are accustomed to judging a person's deterrent power by force or function. Judges like these grassroots organizations are mediocre in their clothes and powerless. It gives the impression of an old farmer or a peddler in a beautiful outfit. It's hard to get respect from the heart.

But soon the grassroots courts showed their power, and people found that no matter who they were, from the big businessmen and high-ranking officials, down to the common people, they had to obey its verdict.

If he is not convinced, the police will teach him how to behave.

A single verdict from a court can determine the fate of a person.

And the reason why people allow it to have so much power is nothing more than two words, justice!

From its inception to the present, the cases of each court must be archived, and the trial process must be transparent to the public to prevent the abuse of private rights. There are auditoriums and you are welcome to observe at any time. So people are not averse to the courts.

But there is no airtight wall in the world.

Wayne's two-person trial system was too crude, leaving a huge amount of room for manoeuvre.

It is fine to encounter some ordinary cases, but if some cases involving a large number of assets are involved, the judge can choose to adjourn the court in the middle of the trial. And many people can take advantage of this period to seize the time to bribe judges.

So after the pastor's prayer case, another case made the front page of the Nolan Times.

"Brothers fight, who does the inheritance belong to?"

A wealthy merchant named Marsin died of illness in his bed. He left behind a huge legacy.

But he has two sons, and the situation is complicated by the fact that one is not his own son.

Frey is his adopted son, who has traveled with him for many years, and is a very caring and right-hand man. It can be said that Marsin, who has no children under his knees, has long regarded Frey as his own son.

It's just that this Malsin is old and has children, so let's live like this. Nineteen years have passed, and Marsin has long been a famous businessman, and people say that the money hidden by Malsin's family has pressed down his own foundation.

But Marsin's life has also come to an end, and magic cannot stop death.

He made a will to give most of the family fortune to Frey, and his own son, Daniel, who spent a lot of time drinking, only received a few thousand gold coins.

Unconvinced, Daniel went to court and bribed the judge during the trial, so that Frey did not receive a penny. So Frey appealed, and the Nolan City Court was argued.

Sensational.

There are two key points in the case, whether the will made by Malsin in front of many relatives and friends is valid. How to ensure that every judgment is fair, and the judge will not be swayed by other things.

This is a great challenge to the impartiality of the judicial system, and if not properly addressed, it will seriously undermine the judicial system.

Wayne knew that these things were unavoidable, and that a system that was not mature in the early days was unlikely to be perfect, and there would be a lot of problems.

First of all, there is still the problem of not having a lawyer, and the will can only be effective if it is signed in front of a lawyer. But Wayne has no lawyers, not even enough judges. Of course, the rules can't be so dead, and Wayne gave the answer according to the British legal system in his previous life. In the presence of three or more persons, some contracts have legal effect if they are not coerced. The legal effect of a contract signed in front of a judge is even higher than that.

So far, the will dispute case has been resolved.

But the bigger concern is how to be sure that every decision of the court is correct?

The Nolan Times rebuked for three days in a row.

Court or Treasurer?

The Spirit of Justice: Looking at the Money

"Justice, Earn Together!"

The Nolan Times is a quasi-government agency, and Wayne can manipulate it. Even shut it up, but Wayne knew that justice was meant to grow through thick and thin. How is a good piece of steel without all kinds of tempering.

But the disadvantage is that Wayne has fully experienced what public opinion pressure is in the past few days.

It's a bit unfair to say that the media will always try to find a style to get the government in trouble. But I can't solve the problem myself. This is understandable, because it is the media's job to identify problems and report them to the government. And the government can only solve the problems of society. This is the responsibility of each other, and there is nothing wrong with it.

Speaking of the current problem, there is only one root cause!

The regulatory system, let alone the judiciary, is not even the government.

In the past, the supervision system of the nobility relied on the guard, which was an organization parallel to the government and directly subordinate to the lord. But in order to improve efficiency, Wayne removed this rigid and inefficient institution and established the police, which belonged only to the municipality. The benefit is that the police can adjust their deployment in real time according to the needs of the government. The downside is that Wayne has no way to oversee the government through the police.

In fact, Wayne knew that his corruption problem was not light now, but he still tolerated it.

Only oil and water can attract good talents, and if an inspection institute is established, officials are not allowed to have some gray income. Who else wants to come to work in the government, and then they will be a bunch of wreckage.

Most of the time, corrupt officials are more capable than clean officials. Although they are greedy, they have a first-class level of governance and can quickly develop the economy of a region.

How many corrupt officials are there in the world? How many clean officials are there? If the government can function well, it is inevitable to appoint corrupt officials.

In Wayne's view, it doesn't matter if you are greedy, but you have to do things, as long as your ability is outstanding, as long as you don't go too far, it's okay to be greedy. Compared with those honest officials who get paid and don't dare to do anything all day long. Wayne prefers the former.

But now he has to face this problem, since he wants to establish a regulatory body. Then it is inevitable to reduce the gray income of judges. This will make the already scarce profession even more scarce.

Fortunately, Wayne is not short of money, and since he has reduced their gray income, he has increased their salary.

Not only that, but also the level of the case, otherwise the case involving more than 100,000 gold coins will be tried in the grassroots court, and the judge will definitely be easy to be bribed.

If he were to be tried in the Northwest Court, the judge would be of the same rank as Orbins. That bribe is not something that can be played with a few thousand gold coins. At least six figures, when such a large amount is involved, it is alarming. After all, if there were hundreds of thousands of gold coins in Orbans' account for some reason, it would be impossible to hide it.

All in all, it makes it more difficult to pay bribes than the value of the case itself. A two-pronged approach.

Of course, it is also necessary to increase the training of judicial personnel. After all, lawyers are the best candidates to supervise the judiciary, and it is better to have a group of legal professionals. Moreover, it is necessary to distinguish between the official and non-governmental organizations, and it is good to supervise each other and restrain each other.
