Description
One of the pillars of good governance is the rule of law and administration of Justice. The main plank of market economy is property rights and enforcement of contracts. Among several determinants of Foreign Direct Investment and International Trade flows the mechanisms by which disputes are resolved among the contracting parties features prominently. Inclusive development in which the majority of the population shares the benefits also requires Financial inclusion i.e access to capital. I would like to begin with Article 37 (d) of the constitution i.e provide inexpensive and expeditious justice. This in turn implies Affordability and Access. The world justice project report ranks Pakistan quite low based on a survey . The report opined that the poor and lower classes do not have access to justice in the formal justice system. We do not have dedicated legal aid societies in large numbers that can assist the poor and the district law empowerment committee constituted by the Law and Justice Commission JCP in 2011 are non-functional.
