Justice Package Impact Assessment: Costs, Risks and Unknowns
Credibility begins when a project discloses not only its ambitions, but also its costs, risks and missing data.
Why an impact assessment matters
A credible reform explains the problem, alternatives, costs, social consequences, legal risks, consultations and indicators. It also states openly what is not yet known.
Six assessment blocks
Alternatives
Status quo, resources alone, immediate digitisation or a combined path.
Costs
Staff, training, buildings, systems, audits and transition.
Rights
Independence, due process, data, appeal and accountability.
Consultation
Institutions, staff, professions, data authority and Parliament.
Evaluation
Baseline, targets and regular publication.
Risks and responses
| Risk | Required response |
|---|---|
| Double counting jobs | Baseline and separation of earlier programmes. |
| Premature AI deployment | Pilots, acceptance testing and waves. |
| Pressure on judges | Collective indicators and independence safeguards. |
| Vendor lock-in | Tested contractual reversibility. |
| Excessive data retention | Differentiated periods and minimisation. |
| Fictitious savings | Separate capacity, productivity and net budget saving. |
