We carried out some investigations into the work of community courts in New York and elsewhere recently. It was interesting, because there is a six month cooling-off period at the community court level for misdemeanours, minor violations and so on. Matters that arise are dealt with immediately and the system is most impressive. Perhaps that should be considered at a future date in the context of this legislation.
