Thread: Safe Streets ? My experiance yesterday

Don't you just love the public sector ?

I sent a Judicial Review file to the Royal Courts of Justice to challenge the decision of Kent Chief constable to halt an inquiry he had earlier called for into James SHORTT.

I had taken the precaution of phoning the Court customer services and agreeing how it should be prepared and the number of copies.

When I phoned the Court a week or so later I was told that my files had not been received. So I tarced through the postal record and phoned back to tell the Court staff the date they signed receipt. That got the info that they had lost the file. I gave it a week and got the info that they had found the file and would be posting it back because it was not hole punched and paginated in one run.

So I refused the delivery and had it returned to the Royal Courts of Justice. I phoned and wrote to the Court that I was happy to attend Court with my hole punch and biro but the file was also Common Law obligatory and hence cannot legally be posted beyond the confines of the Court before a Judge has read it all.

So one day the parcel arrives back at my door and I refuse it a second time. This time it got back to RCJ but they lost it for good. The Court Registry can remember that someone came in calling for the file but would not say who that was.

So I reported to the Monarch in Parliament all this (Senior Law Lord) and got the parcel I sent LawLord returned and refused it and back it went to Law Lord. Eventually I got a letter from his secretary saying the Senior Law Lord had directed that it would not be appropriate he sign the document I had enclosed in the file.


Since I required proof the Law Lord had been given the file the Secretary letter serves just as well as his signature.

Duh.

But at least Shortty's name has resonated a bit in high places.

I also wrote to Justice Minister STRAW asking why he had hastened repeal of the Unlawful Drilling Act 1819 just when it is needed to illuminate the Iraq inquiry and also the history of James SHORTT.

Guess what no one replied .... Perhaps Straw noticed how the Senior Law Lord slipped up ?

I wouldn't hold out too much hope when it comes to the legal system. I've never recovered from Gordon Jackson QC giving some advice to a young MSP who was jacking in politics to train as a lawyer - words to the effect, "The law's a load of crap as well".
