Summary:

"The Judicial Reform Foundation yesterday called for more transparency and accountability in the judicial system as it launched a new database containing the written judgements of court cases.

The database will allow the public to scrutinize the decisions and conduct of judges and prosecutors, foundation members said.

'The database is an important addition to our ‘Sunshine Justice’ Web site. We want to have open access to this information, to make it more people-friendly and to bring sunshine into the system,' foundation chairman Lin Yung-sung (林永頌) said.

It took a lot of time and effort to search for and compile the material, since the Judicial Yuan and the Ministry of Justice have not updated their computer systems or Web site applications, making it difficult to retrieve information on past court case judgements, Lin said."
