This principle emphasizes the importance of not only ensuring that justice is served, but also that this process is transparent and evident to all. It aims to promote trust in the legal system and correct any disparities or bias that may exist. Ultimately, the goal is to uphold the integrity and legitimacy of the justice system.
For work to be done, a force must be applied to an object, causing it to move in the direction of the force. Work is defined as force acting over a distance, so the object must be displaced by the force applied to it in order for work to be done.
When work is done, there must be a force acting on an object, and the object must move in the direction of the force. The amount of work done is calculated by multiplying the force applied by the distance the object moves in the direction of the force.
If no work was done, the object must not have moved in the direction of the force. This could happen if the force was applied perpendicular to the object's motion or if the object remained stationary.
Formally, energy is required to do work. Work is technically force times distance. Thus, what must occur is a force must be applied to an object and the object must move with some movement being in the direction of the force. The quantity of work done is the "dot" product of the force vector and displacement vector. To carry out work "on an object" or in any fashion requires the same amount of energy be used as the amount of work done. (Of course, friction and other inefficiencies result in the use of more energy than the actual work done, with the excess energy taking some other form, such as heat.)
When a force moves objects over a rough horizontal surface at a constant velocity, the work done against friction must be equal to the work done by the applied force to maintain the constant velocity. This is because the force of friction opposes the motion of the object, so the work done by the applied force must overcome the work done by friction to keep the object moving at a constant speed.
The Lord Chief Justice Hewart said this nearly 100 years ago,
The phrase "not only must justice be done, but it must also be seen to be done" is often attributed to the British legal scholar and judge Lord Chief Justice Alfred Denning. He emphasized the importance of transparency in the legal process to maintain public confidence in the justice system. This principle underscores that justice should not only be fair in its execution but also perceived as fair by the public.
R v Sussex Justices, ex p McCarthy.
Gordon Hewart, in Rex v. Sussex Justices ex parte McCarthy (1924), who literally said "Not only must Justice be done; it must also be seen to be done."(The sentiment is obviously in the English tradition, so that the only possibility other than a British jurist would have been an American jurist.)
The phrase "justice must not only be done but also seen to be done" emphasizes the importance of transparency and public perception in the justice system. It suggests that for justice to be credible and legitimate, it must be administered fairly and openly, allowing the public to witness the processes involved. This transparency helps build trust in legal institutions and ensures that individuals feel confident that justice is being served, not just in theory but in practice. Ultimately, it underscores the idea that the appearance of fairness is as crucial as the actual delivery of justice.
This aphorism is stated in the order that we are accustomed to for historical reasons. The principle that justice should be done was accepted from the earliest times. It was probably accepted as a sine qua non of justice even before the Emperor Justinian gave his name to the concept of justice. The principle that justice must be seen to be done came later, and is still not universally accepted, even in countries with advanced legal systems. The best reason for keeping the saying as it is may be that insisting on visible justice is the best way of ensuring actualjustice being done. It is instructive to consider the previous paragraph in the light of Guantanamo Bay.
in order to make two opposing sides happy with the decision. the justice must be done that is fair and equal to both sides.
That Justice Be Done was created in 1946.
Trial by jury and the trial is open to the public so that justice can be seen to be done.
Justice Is Done was created on 1950-09-20.
Humanists place humanity as being of primary importance, so human dignity and concerns are what governs their philosophy. From this it is likely that if justice is done, and seen to be done and, as far as possible, human dignity is respected humanists would respond favourably.
when a new justice is sworn in they must a
