Ordinary citizens face longer court case backlogs and reduced confidence in judicial fairness, affecting property disputes, family matters, and contract enforcement. Legal remedies become less reliable as institutional trust erodes. Expect delays in justice delivery and higher costs for legal recourse.

Long-term investment returns face headwinds from judicial system deterioration, reducing rule of law confidence critical for portfolio protection. Contract enforcement reliability declines, increasing counterparty risk across sectors. FII inflows may slow as institutional governance concerns deepen.
