[Legal Beagles]

On 12th June 2014 at Oxford County Court, a case which had been on-going for over a year finally came to an end.

Boy oh Boy! The stress this must have caused. Even the chapsarguing Jarndyce and Jarndyce in Bleak House would have thought this was taking the proverbial.:mmph:
Just goes to show the Judge had to be almost embarrassed into finding for the defendant even though it was as clear as the nose on his face that the claimant was in the wrong.
This is a waste of time, money and yet another example that debtors are on a very sticky wicket when it comes to the courts.

Indeed, if you only knew the half of it, it was a result which was mostly as a result of the Defendants qucikthinking legal team , as if we hadnt been on the ball the judge would have found for the opponents im sure

Just when I am trying to cut down on my smoking I readthis!!!!:smokin:
Something has to give and soon. Even though the thoughts of the claimant paying all those costs is satisfying, after each farcical appearance in court that poor man had to go away believing that he was going to lose eventually. That’s not justice; that’s mental cruelty. Then it all hung on the judge slipping up and you eagle eyed chaps spotting it –it is not in the least logical. I have a very limited knowledge of the law but this does not seem to conform to any legal process I have ever heard of. Didn’t people like Garrow stamp this sort of bias and incompetence out three hundred years ago?:der:

And another thing…..imagine a murder trial. A fella is in the dock accused of stabbing someone and the prosecution produced an item that ‘sortof, kind of,' looks a bit like it might be a murder weapon. Would the judge tell them to come back again with another tool and if that didn’t look like it send them off again to have a rummage around. I think not. Our fella would be back outside running around like Zorro within an hour!:bolt:
