  • the independent courts of law and administrative courts
  • the prosecution service
  • the enforcement authorities, who see to the enforcement of judgments
  • the prison service and the probation service, who see to the enforcement of custodial sentences, and
  • the Bar Association and the other avenues of legal aid.
