In Unqualified and bogus lawyers
Incorrect Justice and poor anatomy of judgment impact adversely upon the administration of justice and undermine the place of the Judiciary at the heart of Civil and Criminal Justice.
This problem is peculiar to the English legal system. This problem is alien to the judicial system of other Member States. There are two issues which appear to be the root cause of this deplorable practice but first, the question is, how does this practice promote itself?
Vigilance
Unless a court user is vigilant there is no way that he or she would ever find out the route taken by his or her application. For example, on each occasion that I have applied to the Administrative Court for a measure there was never any guarantee that a member of the Judiciary took any interest in my application or even sees the application.
Those who often describe themselves as “Lawyers” or “Senior Lawyers” or “Clerks” are usually responsible for writing “Orders” In order to establish whether a Judgment or Order is the work of a Judge the court user is advised to look out for two key issues –
• Seal of the Court
• Handwritten signature of the Judge
The one thing that a court user must never do is assume that the “order” which he or she has received from the Court, was indeed “approved” or “signed by a Judge. It is often the case that those who describe themselves as “Lawyers”, “Senior Lawyers” or “Clerks”, assume, as a matter of course, the persona of a Judge.
Sir Andrew Collin – Administrative Court
In October 2009 I made a Request by post to Sir Andrew Collin, in his capacity as the Head of the Administrative Court. My letter of Request was written in the most respectful language ever, and I surprised myself that, despite all the harm and injury caused me by Her Majesty’s Judges, I still had a great deal of admiration for any of them.
The said letter was posted from the premises shared by the PLC Party and Public Law Centre in the Netherlands.
On 20 November 2009, an Order was typewritten. Sir Andrew Collin’s was typed at the foot of the page. The language of the “order” was intemperate. The “title” or “header” of the Order did not bear any resemblance whatsoever to my Request to Mr. Justice Collin.
Although there was a “Return envelope”, the “order was not sent to the premises in the Netherlands, instead, it was sent to me, at my home in London.
Not Sir Andrew Collin’s Deed
The so-called order was not the Deed of Mr. Justice Collin. A Justice of his quality, age, and experience would not lower his own self-esteem by using “intemperate” language in a court order. I am satisfied that the said “order” was the work of Mr. Ivan Brown, Clerk to Mr. Justice Collin, Mr. Simon Slidders, of the Administrative and, Ms Sally Meacher, the lady who passed herself off as “Deputy Master”, in the Court of Appeal [Civil Division]
Questions but no answers
A great deal of dishonesty is taking place inside Her Majesty’s Courts Service. The Ministry of Justice does not appear to be on top of the problem because court users, who have been victimised by the Courts Service, are unable to reach officials of the Ministry who may have it in their power to do something about the abuse.
There is no political Will to put paid to the activities of Unqualified “lawyers”, “Senior lawyers”, “Clerks”, and Interns turned “Deputy Masters”, who regularly pass themselves off as “Judges”. Mr. Jack Straw may not wish to take on the Judges at this stage, having regard to the forthcoming General Election. However, the problem posed by Unqualified “lawyers” posing as “Judges” can no longer be left on a trolley on the Strand.
