Injustice occurs when rules are interpreted unfairly, not just in legal proceedings but also in situations like labor disputes or discrimination. Injustice can occur within a company, criminal trials, or incarceration. Many injustices go unreported, while some reports are frivolous and can result in legal consequences.
By definition, injustice occurs whenever a set of rules is interpreted in such a way as not to provide a fair verdict. While this term is generally applied to legal proceedings within a civil court, it is also applicable to any type of situation where there is an absence of justice. This could include anything from a dispute about labor practices to situations involving fraud, discrimination or unfair punishment.
The most common type of injustice normally occurs within a company when an employee feels that the rules have not been enforced as required by law. In this type of situation, a grievance would be filed internally within the company so that the employer has a chance to rectify the issue. At this point, the allegation of unfairness would be sought by society and validated or dismissed depending on the evidence present. If the complainant believes that the complaint has not been handled properly, legal counsel may be sought to seek further legal action.
Injustices can also occur within criminal trials or during the incarceration of a prisoner. For example, if an accused person was handled improperly during the actual arrest or if a cruel and unusual punishment is brought about, the trial could be dismissed entirely if the treatment can be verified. In this situation, the prosecution and any victims involved may feel that the sentence is an injustice, but it technically wouldn’t be wrong as long as government rules are applied to the situation. Gathering evidence is normally the most important aspect of any wrongdoing situation because it often boils down to one person’s word against another’s.
Just because civil litigation isn’t required doesn’t mean injustice hasn’t occurred. In fact, the vast majority of these types of situations go unreported for fear of retaliation or further unfair treatment. This does not in any way mean that the injustice is not a violation of local laws or regulations, nor does it imply that the victim is satisfied with the situation. Failure to report an unfairness simply means that the complainant accepts the unfair treatment.
Similarly, there are also many instances where reports of an injustice are frivolous. This can occur due to a misinterpretation of the law or it can be an outright case of attempted fraud. Companies spend millions of US dollars (USD) defending such claims each year, most of which are settled outside of a courtroom. Fabricating an injustice is punishable by law in many territories and provinces.
