Japan’s parliament passes bill to revise retrial system

Japan's parliament has passed a bill to reform the country's retrial system. Under the new rules, prosecutors will generally be prohibited from appealing court decisions that order retrials. However, exceptions will be permitted if there are sufficient grounds for such appeals. This change aims to streamline the legal process and reduce unnecessary litigation. The revision reflects ongoing efforts to improve judicial efficiency within Japan's legal framework.
