If turkies could vote,...Judges in their own cause.<br /><br />If turkies could vote, do you think they would vote for Christmas? No.<br /><br />Does this mean the judges will have to declare their pre-hearing chats with Counsel in Chambers? Or would that be asking too much?<br /><br />It is about time in 2011, that transparency in Scottish Courts can be taken as a 'given' by all parties in the process.<br /><br />Every Hearing should be audio and visually digitally recorded, so that any 'mis-statements' can be reviewed and addressed, so that statements made in Court are not later changed when it comes to a written Decision or Interlocuter!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20722989.post-73453577442873639182011-10-29T18:59:23.526+01:002011-10-29T18:59:23.526+01:00Anonymous said...

After our property was damaged by an intoxicated individual who was apprehended by the police, my wife and I agreed to attend court as witnesses. On three occasions we received citations to attend, but each time the case was not heard. As we are both hospital doctors, on each occasion there was considerable inconvenience to ourselves and our hospital colleagues as work was rescheduled in order that patient care was not disrupted.<br /><br />On the fourth occasion, we attended court only to find that the sheriff had cancelled the case at 3.30 pm saying there was insufficient time. This surprised us, the court staff and the depute fiscal, as there seemed plenty of time for a simple case with only three witnesses in which the accused had been caught red-handed. On protesting, we were told that the court staff and the depute fiscal were keen for the case to be heard, but were powerless as the sheriff would not co-operate. I complained to the Judicial Office for Scotland, who replied that our complaint was inadmissible as it concerned “judicial management of the court programme”, against which, apparently, complaints cannot be made.<br /><br />It appears that although sheriffs exercise ultimate influence over the court programme, they have no responsibility for it on a day-to-day basis, and are unaccountable for it in a more general sense.<br /><br />In the aftermath of rioting in England, courts sat in the evenings and at weekends, and this was considered such a success that it may become regular practice. It seems odd that in Scotland we struggle to hear cases beyond mid afternoon. No wonder a backlog of cases is developing.<br /><br />The justice system in Scotland underwent a recent review whose four guiding principles were that the system should be “fair, effective, efficient and quick”. Our experience showed it to fail all four. If the Lord President is minded to improve Scottish justice, he might begin by considering how to instil into highly-paid senior judicial figures a sense of responsibility for the process of criminal justice.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20722989.post-3438341707939455382011-10-28T11:43:46.279+01:002011-10-28T11:43:46.279+01:00This is possibly one of the most critical things y...This is possibly one of the most critical things you will ever do Peter - take on the judiciary itself and hold them to account.They are a terrible gang a law unto themselves and anyone who is brave enough to take them on is a good guy in my book.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20722989.post-659089346383286292011-10-28T09:09:09.446+01:002011-10-28T09:09:09.446+01:00Twenty nine comments here and only 8 signatures so...Twenty nine comments here and only 8 signatures so far on the petition - come on people get a move on!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20722989.post-68467086655580808002011-10-27T23:49:07.480+01:002011-10-27T23:49:07.480+01:00Take care Peter these people you investigate are t...Take care Peter these people you investigate are truly evil and will stop at nothing to keep their criminal gang in powerAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20722989.post-57489401127254525212011-10-27T23:10:26.341+01:002011-10-27T23:10:26.341+01:00"A Register of Interests for the Judiciary ....."A Register of Interests for the Judiciary ... its not rocket science, its just transparency and accountability coming to people who hide behind their positions at the top of the legal system ...<br /><br />If judges have nothing to hide, then they have nothing to fear from entering their financial & non financial interests in a published Register of Interests."<br /><br />Good for you Peter.Its great to hear someone talking like this and trying to get the job done instead of all these useless politicians who sit back and allow the legal mafia to ruin the rest of us.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20722989.post-66075072941783930082011-10-27T22:34:59.786+01:002011-10-27T22:34:59.786+01:00Thanks for your comments & contact on this art...Thanks for your comments & contact on this article.<br /><br />Also, many thanks to those who posted the details of the Early Day Motion from former MP Andrew Dismore regarding a Register of Interests for the Judiciary ...<br /><br />I am looking into this to try to establish why nothing more was done, although it does appear from additional comments the Judiciary had their wicked way and took the issue out of mainstream discussion ...<br /><br /># Anonymous @ 27 October 2011 17:33<br /><br />Regarding what you say, I'd be interested to hear more ... email me via scottishlawreporters@gmail.com<br /><br /># Anonymous @ 27 October 2011 20:58<br /><br />According to a mole who came out early for Autumnwatch it is being discussed ...<br /><br /># Anonymous @ 27 October 2011 20:47<br /><br />It seems judges are also allowed a heightened level of tax evasion on offshore investments and gambling ... something to look forward to in future headlines ...<br /><br />A Register of Interests for the Judiciary ... its not rocket science, its just transparency and accountability coming to people who hide behind their positions at the top of the legal system ...<br /><br />If judges have nothing to hide, then they have nothing to fear from entering their financial & non financial interests in a published Register of Interests.Diary of Injusticehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00697476580161690118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20722989.post-63465035067271686842011-10-27T21:49:24.570+01:002011-10-27T21:49:24.570+01:00AS BENT AS A JUDGE IS AS GOOD A VIEW AS ANY THEY A...AS BENT AS A JUDGE IS AS GOOD A VIEW AS ANY THEY ARE ALL LITTLE HITLERS WITH ROBES AND THEIR SUPPORTERS SHOUT DOWN ANYONE WHO QUESTIONS THEIR DICTATORSHIPAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20722989.post-68413107416340873412011-10-27T20:58:23.763+01:002011-10-27T20:58:23.763+01:00Hi Peter
