End 'Judge Shopping': Limiting Nationwide Court Orders

This act aims to limit the ability of single judges to issue nationwide court orders. This means that cases potentially affecting all citizens across the country will need to be heard in courts with at least two active judges. The goal is to ensure a more balanced and considered approach to far-reaching decisions.
Key points
Nationwide court orders, which affect all citizens, can only be issued in judicial districts with at least two judges.
The change aims to prevent a single judge from blocking government actions nationwide, which can impact various aspects of public life.
