The Bar Council proposes alternative justice measures for first-time offenders in low-level crimes to relieve the burdens on the court system. Instead of jury trials, the Council suggests offenders could pay compensation or participate in rehabilitation programs. They criticise the government's proposal to create a new intermediate court, arguing it won't effectively address backlogs and could infringe on trial rights. The Bar Council maintains it's critical to explore ways to reduce the case influx rather than restructure the current system without fixing underlying issues.
The Bar Council argues for diverting first-time offenders of low-level crimes to compensation or rehabilitation instead of trial, asserting this helps alleviate court congestion.
Rather than altering the fundamental structure of the criminal justice system, the Bar Council emphasizes the need for solutions that address the root causes of increased cases.
