The working document studies the impact of reforms undertaken to the justice system between 2011 and 2014 and the IMF deems as “most successful” in the fields of civil law, for example, injunctions, bankruptcies and insolvencies and in the commercial courts.
The IMF refers to “impressive changes” and highlights the reduction in the length and number of pending processes contained within the system with more leaving the system than entering it since late 2012 following the introduction of these streamlining measures.
The IMF also praised the reform made to the Civil Process Code in 2013 but thought the restructuring of the legal system of courts might have gone off better.
“Despite the enormous investment of time and effort by the authorities, including the transfer of all cases to the new courts, the changeover was not at all easy,” the document detailed.
The IMF added that such problems have since broadly been resolved even if requiring substantial periods of time and the authorities might have reached still further in terms of the court houses and other state entities shut down with “performance based on courthouse workload” an outstanding priority for full implementation in the future.
