The proposed laws might make the courts more efficient but they seem to do so by eroding the courts independence and it&#8217;s ability to act as a counter measure to the Execulature (A totally made up word: Executive and and Legislature combined, as it basically is today).</p> <p>He&#8217;s hoping for some further negotiation before any laws are passed and I hope so as well. It&#8217;s really hard to pronounce Execulaturiciary.</p> Mon, 20 Feb 2006 15:59:00 -0600 urn:uuid:cc5158c4492c4108c48173ff66a7e8c6 Farrel http://www.politics.za.net/articles/2006/02/20/turf-war Justice & Constitutional Development The Legislature The Judiciary The Executive http://www.politics.za.net/articles/trackback/54
