MISCARRIAGES OF JUSTICE IN CATALONIA
JUDICIAL LAST RESORT

• Corruption
• Absolute power
• Lack of discipline
• Obstruction of justice
• Procedural law
• Judicial independance
• Kangaroo courts
• Last judicial resort

It's no secret that the current judicial powers want to accumulate more power for themselves and be the last judicial resort in Catalonia. According to an article in ABC:

http://www.abc.es/20060923/catalunya-catalunya/mena-defiende-imparcialidad-fiscalia_200609230246.html

The ex-chief prosecutor of Catalonia, José María Mena Álvarez, and Exma. Presidenta del TSJC, Maria Eugènia Alegret are pushing for this situation.

Also, the Estatuto de Autonomía de Catalunya 2006 , article 95, define that TSJC be the last judicial resort for cases in our Comunidad Autónoma.

In theory, this is a desirable outcome, but without an effective control (and discipline) over the judges and prosecutors, we could find ourselves much worse off.
