It depends on the context. In the civil side, the parties decide whether to settle or try the case.

What is the justice system used in Things Fall Apart?

The justice system of the Igbo was to have the egwugwu, the spirits of the ancestors, decide upon the righteous judgment of cases. Only cases that could not be settled otherwise would go to this final court. Judgement is not punitive, but based upon making things right for all parties. The egwugwu are represented by one man from each of the villages. Later the white men brought their own courts, but this was very punitive based.
