Confusing the legal procedure

It is sometime confusing, by the ordinary people on the street or even the legal professionals, the due process of legal procedure.

The three main elements of our legal system on "legal procedure" are:

1) It is for the Parliament to pass the rule of law (subject to the constitution);
2) for the respective agencies to enforce the law & to investigate; and
3) for the court of law to interpret and made judgement.

No member of parliament non minister of the government have the right to criticize the judgment.

Any court judgment can only be overruled by the higher court and/or superseded by the new Act of Parliament. However, in the event of maladministration and lack of transparency in the judicial process, the final ACTs is the people power to decide the new parliament and government.
