Following the rules of the courts and the system

Following the rules and the guidelines when dealing with any case is frustrating, but even more so when you yourself has a personal stake in the case. The amount of time between dates is one thing, but the duplication and the jumping through hoops is what makes me shake my head. All persons involved in any case can make or break the process. What I mean is that if these persons (on both sides) follow the rules then the process does work, it just takes time. However, if you get someone, who just does not care about the rules, the process or simply has no regard for the court and the system whatsoever, then what you end up with is a court and system that usually gives the benefit of the doubt to that person until they can no longer ignore that persons lack of inaction and go ahead with matters anyway. By then, months if not years have passed by,  what should have only taken half of the time has taken far too long. The ironic thing is, is that even if you in the end by doing everything the right way finally get rewarded with a favourable judgement, enforcing that judgement is a whole other process. Another game that the person who in the beginning, did not care for the process and delayed it at every turn, again has another opportunity to delay, prevent, stop, bog down the system, use whatever word you like, to prevent justice, simple satisfaction, or any kind of finality by manipulating the very same courts and the system that resulted in where the matter stands at present. The system though it can work, it can also be manipulated and benefit the people who should be benefitting the least from it. Those who have the best of intentions and are using the only system available to them are unfortunately the ones being punished in the end.

Experience

I have spent a great deal of time in the court system at various levels. After having spent over ten years policing much of this time was spent in both criminal courts and provincial offences court. Further, having been married and divorced twice I have spent a great deal of time in the family courts. I have also held individuals accountable for their actions by suing them for libel/slander as well as for monetary losses. I can say that in my young adult life I have spent more time in the court and its system than most regular people and feel that I have a wealth of knowledge and insight into the Courts and the System
