Can you clarify the mechanism at work here?
Again, how is the necessary threshold of "esteem" determined so that a defendant can be sure choose a "legitimate" court?
I suppose I haven't really been explaining this well.
It's basically a market arrangement.
The firms that do the best, will be the firms that protect their clients the best at the cheapest rates. These firms will be those that cooperate with the most other firms. This is because the firms that co-operate don't have to spend massive amounts of money in armed conflict with other firms because they'll have the easiest time negotiating to get cases into a legitimate court.
ASIDE: Legitimate courts will be the courts that have a proven track record of fair verdicts. The only way you will be able to tell if a court is "fair" is that the only way you'll be able to keep getting both sides of a dispute to agree to use a particular judge is if both sides feel like they'll be getting a fair, deal with that judge. The judges that keep getting cases will be the fairest judges.
So for clients of firms that don't cooperate:
You won't be safe because if you are caught being alleged of a crime by another security agency, your only recourse would be to have your security agency attempt an armed rescue.
So we have 2 security agencies:
A.) One that can only help you by attempting armed rescues. This agency will cost massive amounts of money (countries have to inflate their money supplies just to pay for this kind of constant battle).
B.) One that simply negotiates with other firms to get cases into legitimate courts.
Which business model do you think will survive?
Basically, only the firms that co-operate with a the majority of other firms will survive because armed conflict between organized agencies is frighteningly expensive.
Conclusion:
Firms that only co-operate with 15% of other firms will not be a viable business model so these firms will fail.
