I wish to propose the following ammendments to the Judiciary Systems Act (2007);
4.3.a
Current;
(a) Offences of a criminal nature may be reported by any person who holds Jamzinian citizenship. The report must be submitted to The House Of The Interior, and must include details of the alleged offence. It shall be the duty of the Prime Minister to decide whether the case is to be taken further, and ultimately officially submitted to the Jamzinian High Court. Should the Prime Minister fail to reach a decision within a period of seven days for whatever reason, the monarch may make the decision. Failure to act on the submitted report on the behalf of the government within a period of twenty eight days shall result in the case being dropped, and ultimately a ceasing to proceedings. Future proceedings for the same alleged offence may continue in future, however for this to take place, a new report must be submitted.
Proposed ammendment*;
(a) Offences of a criminal nature may be reported by any person who holds Jamzinian citizenship. The report must be submitted to The House Of Commons, and must include details of the alleged offence. It shall be the duty of the Prime Minister to decide whether the case is to be taken further, and ultimately officially submitted to the Jamzinian High Court. Should the Prime Minister fail to reach a decision within a period of seven days for whatever reason, the monarch may make the decision. Failure to act on the submitted report on the behalf of the government within a period of twenty eight days shall result in the case being dropped, and ultimately a ceasing to proceedings. Future proceedings for the same alleged offence may continue in future, however for this to take place, a new report must be submitted.
4.3.b
Current;
(b) In the circumstances of an alleged offence being reported officially by the government, the prosecutor, in this case the monarch or the Prime Minister, must initially detail the nature of the offence, the alleged offender, and the date on which the incident/s took place. The individual accused of the alleged offence shall be known as the defendant. Upon submitting the report, the monarch must assign a judge to the case within ten days. Failure to do so shall result in a formal vote being staged in the House Of The Exterior to decide from a list of pre-selected candidates by the Prime Minister. The vote should last a duration of three days.

6.1
Current;
1. Following a verdict, either side has up to twenty days to appeal in an attempt to overturn the decision. Appeals must be submitted to the House Of The Exterior, where a formal vote shall take place regarding the decision, providing the Prime Minister approves of the vote. The vote shall last a duration of seven days. The result of the vote shall be acted upon as if the judge had delivered the verdict. An appeal shall result in the appellant having to pay costs of whatever the Prime Minister sees fit. He should state the cost prior to the vote taking place, in order to give the appellant a chance to back down.
