Legal Centralism

Legal pluralism in Malaysia has been traditionally a colonial legacy. Legal pluralism not only posits the existence of multiple legal spheres in the same social field but develops certain suppositions concerning the relationships and interaction between them. One area in which there is apparently interesting interaction is in the administration of justice. Whilst legal pluralism may be celebrated because it moves away from the pre-occupation with legal centralism, society cannot afford to have a justice system that is in disarray. This is indeed the case in Malaysia where a common law tradition and civil justice system seem to be at odds with the strong element of religion in the constitution. For more than 50 years, the Malaysian legal system has had to grapple with the ongoing and seemingly endless conflict of judicial authority between the civil and Syariah courts. Syariah courts in Malaysia are exclusively empowered to hear and dispose of cases among Muslims on subject matters enumerated in the first item of List II of the Ninth Schedule of the Federal Constitution.

Features of the mixity, including the institutional setting of Quebec courts as courts of inherent jurisdiction, the nature of Quebec’s civil justice system and procedural law, as well as the judicial role and the effect of a supreme precedential authority (in the Supreme Court of Canada) are examined in turn as influential factors.

Reform Debate

Civil justice comprises the entire system of the administration of justice in civil matters. One significant discourse concerning the civil justice system in the last three decades is reform. This is due to various controversies around the subject resulting in crises. African approaches to civil justice jurisprudence encompass a variety of theoretical and normative elements that shape the way Africans conceive justice delivery. Over the years of the reform debate, not enough light has been shed on this to explain the existence of such perspective. It is argued that the African position to civil justice in the current reforms debate must not be pinned to just the doctrinal option imbedded in statutes but also be based on methods and procedures nurtured on the soil of Africa that align with the practical needs of the people encompassing social, political, cultural, and religious values. The chapter concludes that the African system of justice delivery is largely mirrored in the Ghanaian experience to justice system in civil jurisprudence.

Civil Justice System

The position of adat court in Indonesia civil legal system has a long history. Distinction of public or private sphere would appear when adat court decisions in contact with national judicial system. Interaction between both systems isn’t ideal, either at the level of norms and practices. Unification policy of judiciary institution is one cause which make adat court was forgotten. Although the Judicial Authority Law opens possibility of resolving civil cases by agreement based mechanism, it requires the various perspectives both of legal-normative regarding the existence of adat court and the law implementation prespective regarding Indonesian civil justice system. Kedudukan peradilan adat dalam sistem peradilan perdata nasional memiliki sejarah panjang. Pembedaan ranah publik or privat muncul ketika putusan pengadilan adat bersentuhan dengan ranah sistem peradilan nasional. Hingga saat ini, interaksi antara keduanya belum ideal, baik pada tataran norma maupun praktek. Kebijakan  unifikasi  badan  peradilan  menjadi  salah  satu  penyebab  peradilan  adat  lambat  laun  mulai ditinggalkan. Undang-Undang Kekuasaan Kehakiman membuka kemungkinan upaya penyelesaian perkara perdata secara perdamaian sebagaisemangat yang termanifestasi dalam sistem peradilan perdata. Oleh sebab itu, perlu dikaji dari sisi legal-normatif mengenai keberadaan pengadilan adat dan secara empiris melalui implementasi aturan tersebut dalam sistem peradilan perdata Indonesia.

This chapter, in discussing the English legal system and its features, begins by outlining what the law is and some important constitutional principles. The discussion is primarily based on the institutions and personnel involved in the practice and administration of justice. It therefore involves a description and evaluation of the courts, tribunals, and the judiciary, including their powers and the rationale for such authority, as well as the mechanisms of control and accountability. The aim of this chapter is to demonstrate how the mechanisms of the justice system work. The English legal system exists to determine the institutions and bodies that create and administer a just system of law. It should be noted here that the UK does, in fact, possess a written constitution, it is merely uncodified.
