Change for Aptness: Fighting Flaws in the Federal Supreme Court Cassation Division

Abstract

The Federal Supreme Court Cassation Division is established with a view to
guarding the legislature's purpose and intent. However, at times, the Division
deviates from what the law says and the law-maker intends even to the extent of
twisting a clear provision of the law. This can be due to several reasons. This
article articulates that in order to fight such flaws in the Cassation Division, it is
important to constitute the Division into specialized divisions, employ legal
assistants for each specialized Division, appoint an advisory board for
specialized divisions, awakening the Judicial Administration Council and
conducting detailed studies on the overall performance of the Division.
