Wish for 2025
Balancing Requests for Postponement
At the Judicial Court of Paris this early afternoon on January 15, 2025, after admiring its architecture and its fundamental role, a wish emerges for 2025:
That requests for postponement and the duration of trials be used thoughtfully, based on legitimate grounds and rigorously supervised by the judges, to prevent any form of strategy that could burden the judicial process, both financially and psychologically, for the parties involved.
Trust in the justice system is essential for its proper functioning and legitimacy. It relies on transparent and effective management of procedures.
The authority of a judicial decision remains fundamental and irreplaceable compared to alternative solutions.
It guarantees not only fairness, but also speed and accessibility to justice for all parties, especially those in vulnerable situations—key foundations for maintaining social peace and the stability of the rule of law.
