Election 2023 - A podcast by NZME
Labour's promising a justice system shake-up, with the party saying it'll streamline the process for people to take legal action. The party claims it'll be a more cost-effective way for groups of people to take legal action together by establishing a class actions regime. Labour's Justice spokesperson Ginny Andersen told Mike Hosking that this has worked overseas. She says for example, it's good for small investors who get "done over" by a big company. It also wants to investigate the threshold for jury trials and increase the uptake of audio-visual technology in courts, to try to speed up hearings.
