Here is the juice of the article:

“ 3. A Structural Confusion of Roles: Legal Adviser, Clerk, Manager, Judge

The newsletters repeatedly blur distinctions between:

judicial functions

administrative actions

procedural decisions

managerial discretion

At times, legal advisers speak as if they themselves are the court.

This cheerful lack of self-awareness constitutes a breach of:

separation of powers

CrimPR 2.1 (fairness)

Article 6 ECHR

—and yet the internal culture does not even recognise the boundaries that have been crossed.

This is the evidence government lawyers would dread becoming public.”

As I have said before the Legal Advisors are the cancer at the heart of the magistrates court acting as government shills at every opportunity and usurping the genuine magistrates and judges that operate under a judicial oath, this is done overtly in court but much worse is the insidious game that is played to make sure that the peons never rise above their station by firstly ignoring them, then losing their applications, then denying their applications with their own made up pseudo-law, then trying to time them out with delays, the list is endless but you would never know about it unless you got together with other like minded people to swap notes so thankfully this is now taking place and we see them and their games…

I have the same problem I replied with a usu fruit derivative which basically says stop stealing from my tree ie it is addressed to my legal fiction. But they still went ahead in there ghost courts and ignored by paperwork.

No magistrate or court house so who is actually administrating this fraud justice is joke the bailiffs appearing next with their illegal paperwork .

Keep chipping away Martin I’ll keep subscribing to enable your work to continue.

Many thanks Rob Taylor fareham

I sense that a bullet point was missed from point 9. - We control the Law

OK, Martin, this is the first time I've seen clear evidence of entropy rather than malfeasance, at least within this singular portion of the system. I'm still interested in getting an understanding about the *context* within which this deterioration in this part of the court system has taken place. This part of the justice system is defined by one or more groups further up the hierarchy. It is their responsibility to set the rails within which the lower portion of the system is to act and understand their place. Who dropped the ball, or did they deliberately ground the ball? Whose responsibility is it to step in and get things straightened out, and have they ignored or not seen the problems building in this subsidiary area under their purview, or did they see it and declare it good? You are working with these higher entities (or at least trying to). How are these higher entities talking about this situation? Do they have internal newsletters, LOL?
