Legal Battles : McKenzie Friends, Public Interest Advocates

It happened in Bristol: Maurice, for once, felt listened to as a Litigant in Person

Nobody hardly ever gets to know when and where Maurice is taken to court, not even he himself.

But yesterday he was in a Bristol court and Justice Morgan listened to his ordeal. The result: his medical examination is being adjourned. If and when this brain scan will take place, that doctor in that clinic will have a hard time justifying his report and having held Maurice incarcerated in his clinic. But we begin to know that 'expert witnesses' are writing what their paymasters expect from them, don't we, at least for the purpose of child snatching...

Until then, the legal profession is trying their hardest to make Maurice bankrupt, while prison staff make it impossible for him to conduct his legal proceedings: no way to send money to lodge Judicial Reviews, no photocopying. Carbon paper that has been sent, has never reached him.

What does it take to bring HMP Cardiff to the 21st century? Tomorrow I'll visit the prison in Berlin Tegel. After all, the German SS seems to have been the model for what is happening in the UK...

May my mum have saved me from the bombings of Dresden for really good reasons! And may McKenzie Friends be accepted as public interest advocates: in prisons - for legal visits, in courts - to access court documents, and the committee rooms of Westminster - to be heard as REAL voices for 'the general public'!

Extreme Police harassment + extreme prison conditions => chronic litigant + extreme violation of human rights

Maurice's ordeal makes it clear to everybody who sees the Emperor's clothes:

any document on any human right is a farce: the Police run the country, as they have the 'force to enforce' which is always stronger than any individual
South Wales Police, in particular, don't mind re-using a false report from that doctor of that clinic in 2009, to get Maurice sectioned by Tottenham Police, when he helped the Musas, as criticised even by Dolmans, the solicitors of South Wales Police, in this letter
the Courts are complicit in oppressing people, as their law is "accountable to the court" not to the court's "client", as demonstrated on this site previously
Litigants in Person have a hard enough time to defend themselves against the 'legal mafia' when outside; being inside makes it virtually impossible, as letter 1 and letter 2 between court/judge and prison show; only Maurice with his incredible capacity for endurance and juggling oodles of court cases can keep going.

Let's hope that his lifestyle in prison is conducive to the 43-day trial in his civil case for damages that is scheduled for nine weeks, starting 26th April 2012.

But then there is a criminal case listed for 2 May 2012. It's up to HMP Governor to decide Maurice's fate, it seems... Another reason for our newly formed Association of McKenzie Friends to campaign for legal visits in prison (and hospitals), besides NOT banning anybody from the list of people that prisoners can telephone.

Here's his TO DO list until then - in a letter to one of his keenest supporters. To the Manager of Administrative Courts, he has expressed it in this letter.

McKenzie Friends are Wisening up: CPS and Judge are misquoting the law to stop cross examination

It's clearly up to McKenzie Friends to play 'voluntary watchdog' and check what 'professionals' are doing to their victims. Whether it's the Family Court that allows the Musas to be arrested and not to be given bail, or whether it's Maurice who is being prevented from cross examining witnesses: McKenzie Friends know better!

The CPS and Judges are misquoting law to stop cross examination by MJK. CPS and Judge say they decide to stop a defendant cross examining under sections eg 36

“where it would enhance the quality of the complainant’s evidence..”

But they leave out the full sentence of the law that actually states:-

“where it would enhance the quality of the complainant’s evidence and it will not be contrary to the interests of justice to make such an order.”

In the Musa case, the plan is clearly to get the children adopted, while the parents are in prison and to drop the case to deport the parents.

But, there is case law that states clearly that civil proceedings must stop while criminal ones are pending! Meanwhile, the criminal case is being prolonged as much as possible - without any contact with the children of course! Fairness and justice in the UK - especially towards black foreigners!...
