Name(s):
Inadequacy of procedure of courts of law
Inadequate administration of justice
Fallibility of the legal system

Lack of legal engineering
Absence of reliable systems of justice
Claim
Fairer and more reliable systems of justice not only enhance the climate for development but also constitute a social benefit immediately accessible to the citizen. In many countries development is inhibited by lacunae in the legal statutes; the absence of adequate laws creates doubt and uncertainty. In rich and poor countries alike, arbitrary, corrupt and inefficient courts pose the greatest threat to those who lack wealth or influence.
