How to Complain About the Courts and Police

The police and courts attempt to operate efficiently, but there may be incidents where you believe that you have been treated unfairly. In these cases you are completely within your legal rights to to make a complaint. The justice system we have is based in fairness. The law requires that defendants can usually appeal a court decision, and that citizens complaining about the court that has dealt with their case or the police are given a fair hearing.

If you've had a negative experience during an arrest or police questioning, you can better understand what should have happened by checking our free Rights on Arrest Checker.

How to Complain About the Police

There is an independent body called the Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC). This was set-up by central government to give the public a mechanism by which they could make complaints against the police. Each police force has its own complaints team that deal specifically with complaints directed at their officers.

Complaints about the police can range from minor offenses such as the use of excessive force during an arrest, to more serious complaints such as racism, or the death of a suspect in custody. The police are governed by a Code of Practice that gives them guidelines on how to behave and carry out their duties. You can see a copy of this code at your local library. It’s a good idea to familiarise yourself with the code before you make a complaint.

Note that you should make your complaint within 12 months of the incident you are complaining about. Also, any serious incidents will have to go to the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) for consideration. If you have a complaint and live in England and Wales you make your complaint about the police in a number of ways. These include:

  • By contacted the police force directly
  • Via your solicitor or other legal representative
  • With the help of your local MP
  • With the help of the Citizens Advice Bureau

If you live in Scotland you should direct your complaint to the chief constable of the police force concerned. If the incident is serious and involved an officer breaking the law, your complaint should be directed to the Procurator Fiscal Service as this is the same as the CPS in England and Wales. And if you are in Northern Ireland, contact the Police Ombudsman.

How to Complain About the Courts

If you feel that the court handling your case hasn’t done so professionally, and you haven’t received proper justice in your case, you can make a complaint directly with the court by contacting a member of the court staff either in person or via phone. You may want to make your complain more formal and in writing. If this is the case you need to complete form EX343A. You can download the form from the HMCTS website. You should receive a reply about your complaint within 5 working days. When you make your complaint ensure that:

  • You describe all the facts relating to your complaint in as much detail as possible
  • Clearly explain why you think the court made a mistake with your case
  • What loss (if any) you have suffered as a consequence of the mistake or conduct of the court

If you are making a complaint about a specific member of court staff, and feel you have made a loss, you may be able to claim compensation. This will depend on the nature of your complaint.

Any complaint you make will be investigated and a decision made about any action to be taken. If you disagree with the outcome of your complaint, you can ask the Area Director to further consider your complaint. And if you are still not satisfied with the Area Director’s decision about your complaint, you can contact the Customer Service Unit by telephone on: 0845 4568770 or 020 7189 2000. Disability Helpline/Textphone: Freephone 0800 358 3506.

If after going through this procedure you still believe your complaint hasn’t been dealt with properly, you can contact the The Parliamentary and Health Service Ombudsman. You can’t contact this service directly, but your MP can help you make contact with them.

Your situation may be slightly different. ask a question below ↓ and our editorial team will reply with our advice.

How to Complain About a Judge or Judicial Decision

After the court case you are involved with has finished and you feel that your case wasn’t dealt with properly under the law, or that the presiding judge didn’t perform their duties in accordance with the law, you can make an appeal. Appeals can be effective, but take legal advice before you proceed with your complaint. All appeals need to be made quickly and directly to the court where your case was heard.

Making complaints about specific judges will mean contacting the Judicial Conduct Investigations Office (JCIO). You can telephone them on: 020 3334 2555, or visit their website

Complaining about a magistrate will mean you have to contact the local Advisory Committee. The court where you case was heard can give you their contact details. If you are not happy with their decision, you can then take your complaint to the Judicial Conduct Investigations Office (JCIO).

@Flabbergasted What you're describing sounds genuinely awful, but the route forward isn't arguing with the officers handling it. Get your dad a solicitor who specialises in malicious allegations if he hasn't already, and put every bit of evidence (the messages, the phone data, the previous false claims against other men) through them in writing. For the police conduct itself, complain formally to the force's Professional Standards Department, and if that goes nowhere, escalate to the IOPC. Keep everything documented and stop talking to officers directly without legal advice present.

A strange women we barely know has opened a domestic abuse and sexual assault claim against my father in the family court stating she is our family. We have told the police and the court we barely know this woman and he was married to my mum for 38 years and its ruining my mums memory and good name. But they don't care. They welcome this woman's lies and put a year restraining order on an innocent man without any evidence and they would not listen to the truth. He's still on bail, over a year later for a crime he did not commit, and shes adding more and more on to the false allegations and a second sexual assault claim. My dad has given phone data evidence proving he was no where near this woman on the dates given and proof of this woman messaging my dad to stay the night for sex 3 days after she reported the sexual assault to the police. Later finding out this woman has done the same thing to 2 other men before my dad and we've explained this to the police and got a threatening response of being held for perverting the course of justice if anything else is said to them.
My dad met this woman in the pub and that's all we know about her, they never lived together and he's my full time carer as well as a pensionor. I really don't know how some stranger is able to do this to our family and get away with it. She even admitted she doesnt know when his birthday is or how old he is, but the police are pushing for the conviction of a decent hardworking pensionor who they know is innocent. They applied to magistrates court to extend the bail due to this woman being terrified for her life. My dad has no previous convictions of violence and his four adult children has never witnessed him ever being abusive to our mum or to us growing up. How can this be allowed, this woman being able to wreck someones life in a revenge bid, even with solid evidence that shes lying? How can this be happening to an innocent person?? Please explain because i dont understand how this woman is gettingaway with what shes doing to us?

I have been convicted for a crime I never did yet in court I didn’t have a leg to stand on my solicitor had poor evidence yet I had body cam footage off what took place yet my witness was called a liar twice by the cps prosecution.

I was convicted of 2 crimes I didn't commit 2 years ago, 6 months apart. It turns out the complainant lied about the description and said it was me when it was a tall blonde man, I'm short and bald. They also said the police told them not to mention anything. That one I was absolved of after an appeal. The second they said I did the exact same thing as the first saying I was the same person when I wasn't and I didn't do anything. Personally I think the accuser had a trauma response. In court they said 'ok it could have been someone else' with regards to the one I was absolved of eventually, and 'I thought something was going to happen' with the second. Somehow this was originally translated as guilty of both. The system is truly disgusting when liars can make such claims & are believed by the court and the innocent are left with a broken life and branded criminal.

Why are family courts so slow when it comes to an ex spouse’s breach of maintenance. More so when it has to be done by the REMO process. I have been trying to get this done for nearly 4 years now. The London MEBC office closes down and everything from there gets transferred to Bury st Edmunds leaving me back to where I was almost a year ago. Why keep closing court depts down and piling it all onto one place. I tried complaining to Sir Andrew McFarlane but criticizing the family court was not welcomed.

A man who raped 3 women including myself written down what he’d done including threatening behaviour, murder attempts and serious mental and physical abuse over an extended period of time. Despite damning evidence including his own written evidence against himself (a entry into a diary where he is confessing to what he did) the police took no further action. He poses a serious danger to women yet he still walks the streets. I would like to know why the justice system is so broken? To this day I still have nightmares, flashbacks and panic attacks and life long physical and psychological injuries. The worst injury being a fractured spine. How can women be safe in society of these animals mock the very system supposedly set out to protract the public?
Herh 11/10/2022 at 12:40 pm
I need some advice.
Firstly this is a historic case.
In 1985 the police failed to charge and prosecute a man of serious sexual crimes, they failed by not carrying out a proper investigation, and failed to find his historic charges of attempted murder, and other crimes committed.
In 1993 the case was re opened due to the submission of new evidence.
The CID officer in charge of the case and investigations in 1993 could not understand why charges were not brought in the first instance in 1985, and no charges brought at that time, as there was so much evidence to prove this man committed theses sexual crimes.
The case was taken to court in 1993, however the CPS failed to inform the CID officer and the claimant that it was a trial hearing, and they were both told by the CPS that the court date was not for a hearing or trial but for a later date to be set for the trial and hearing, so no one had to attend.
This information was wrong, and in fact it was a trial hearing.
As the CID officer and the claimant weren’t in court, the accused defence, claimed that the police were withholding evidence that they had requested, claiming that this could prove her client was innocent, and claimed an abuse of process, and the case was dismissed.
However the evidence the defendants solicitor was referring to were files that TO DATE are still missing and believed to be part of a cover up of failings by a GP who failed to report serious safeguarding concerns and also social service's for their failings.
However as the CPS gave the wrong information about the court hearing, the CID officer and the claimant weren’t in court, and there was no one in court to inform the court of this, resulting in the case being dismissed, as an abuse of process.
Directly after the case was dismissed the claimant was informed, she rightfully felt let down by the CPS for their failings in informing her and the police that it was indeed a trial hearing and that there was no one in court to explain about the missing files and the provable cover up leading to theses files being missing and the reason for this concussion. She asked it there was anything she could do or any governing body she could raise this concern and complaint about the CPS to and she was told there wasn’t, and it was left.
However now with the common access of the internet this is something that still bothers me, so I’m putting this out there, is there something or some governing body that you can complain to, about mistreatment by the CPS and their failings in such a case? Also going back to 1985 the failings of the police to investigate a case and taking action at that time, even though there was a body of evidence available, they failed to investigate and bring charges when they should have. This injustice is something I have had to live with but feel that this is so unfair, and watched as a serious perpetrator and sexual predator who stole my life,and committed countless crimes against me over many

I need advice. My case has now been in court 2 1/2 years. I emailed the court last January having not heard back since October of last year. My email/s were not acknowledged. I called several times but they don't answer their phones. I went into the court with a friend and was given an envelope and paper and told to write and put in in the box, I asked what was happening to my case. I received an email on 7th February telling me my case had gone in front of the judge for directions.
I sent the court another email today. I received a reply telling me my case had not gone in front of a judge and thanked me for my patience.
I replied asking the court to explain, showing the email they had sent me on 7th February.
I have had no reply.
I have a dentist in court who I have paid an Expert to fail, he saw haf my bone in my jaw missing but told the technician (not a clinician) that my bone and implants were sound. They were not. I am needing an operation, I cannot eat solid food. I am 72 this year. The court is aware of this. What on earth can I do? How much longer do I have to wait, it feels like forever and I will never eat a proper meal again.

This is an ongoing problem with me and Lincoln police and crown court. I've had police try and plant evidence in full view of public CCTV I made the complaint to the Lincoln IPCC and was phoned up and told to shut it. So I made that all public on a website they then shut my website down by contacting the service provider 16 years they remanded me into custody took all my electronic equipment and deleted the master copies of all complaints about the Lincoln police force and the master copies of the full details of what's gone on. I'm never allowed to pick my own solicitors in court and every time I get forced to take a guilty this time despite sacking my barrister and solicitor twice I was told by judge Pini I will not represent myself although legally I'm entitled too.
This is not justice it's criminal.

Employment Tribunal in November 2013 heard by Judge Maxwell at Bristol ET. Judge rejected request for key evidence to be disclosed by the other party, failed to follow many of the Rules of Procedure and then failed to respond to a request for reconsideration. Huge administration errors from court staff including names being incorrect on paperwork. You are told the British legal system is the best in the world until you have to deal with the complete shambles that passes for 'justice'.

I need some help. Someone close to me was accused of raping a prostitute that he paid....not only did they conceal she was a prostitute in court, evidence to show his innocence was witheld by the cps. This evidence is text messages from the accuser to her friend discussing whether they can get some money out of accusing him and discussing between them whether they should go ahead with the complaint or not. He was found GUILTY! Hoe is this right?! He was given a very long sentence (nearly life) for a crime He did not commit. He is waiting on a date to appeal the sentence but has now been told by his solicitor that nothing can be done about the conviction because this evidence has suddenly been destroyed AFTER the solicitor asked for it. No one can understand why this even went to trial. He has clearly been set up and the police and cps have gone along with it. Many other things were witheld too. Can someone give me some advice urgently as to what can be done. There must be a way of obtaining that phone evidence again??

Hey
Don’t know if I’m in the right place.
My OH is standing trial for murder and possession of a firearm with intent.

The court have heard that he was not involved in the planning and that the forearm he has was not involved in the murder.

New evidence has come to light that proves other people could have been involved and carried out this act. Yet the police won’t allow the evidence to be read in court.
This is evidence that proves my partners innocence.

Police have neglected to show other evidence that also show his innocence by taking out vital parts of messages to change how they come across.

They have also stated they had the evidence on the other people but they have destroyed it !

Hi!! Please advice what should i do, my case history is:
2. The actual damage started on 24 February 2014 when the applicant’s Tier 4 student application was unlawfully refused by the Secretary of the state by failing to comply Tier 4 policy guidelines (2014-2016), as a result he lost Section 3C Leave to remain and became jobless and destitute. Afterward the litigation operations acknowledge this unlawful refusal and pledged that a new decision will be made, (which never happened). The secretary of the state did not stopped her, but on October 2016 she falsely accused the applicant for submitting a fraudulent TOIEC Certificate. In 2017 she again accused him for this forged TOIEC submission without release any burden of proof. The applicant never submitted any fraudulent certificate and was not required to do so as he was holding a UK Master’s degree. This false accusation prevented the applicant to obtain new CAS from the Swansea University. In September 2017 the Swansea University again granted him an offer letter but that offer letter also rejected by the Secretary of the state on basis of 24 February 2014 refusal, unfortunately despite that it was accepted that the February 2014 Refusal will be reconsidered. This show the series of misconducts was carried out deliberately so that the applicant cannot obtain a new CAS. This is a discrimination and prejudices and victimisation it did not stop her, the British judges concealed these material facts and favoured the Home department. To refuse the applicant’s appeal applications.
3. On 31 March 2017 he sent a request letter to the secretary of the state for extension of time to obtain a necessary CAS,( information was sent via FLR (O) attached with a reasoned/supporting cover letter requesting the secretary of the state for extension of time to obtain necessary CAS). It was not a human rights application or the applicant was not intended to vary his outstanding Tier 4 student application. This is confirmed by the Home Office SAR record 2019. The Home Office case worker initially accepted this request and granted 45 days of extension until 24 May 2017, however, on 31 May 2017 the secretary of the state made two ambiguous claims. The initial claim was made on 31 May 2017 that it a human right application on private life and was finally refused under paragraph 353. However, no such reference was made on this request letter. This was challenged in the Upper Tribunal through PAP. On 26 Sept 2019, the Secretary of the state in her Acknowledge of services letter made another ambiguous claim that it is a human rights claim basis of medical grounds and ill health. These manipulated and fabricated decisions were supported by the British Judges without any reexaminations, or any adequate redress, unfortunately. Thus the migrant applicant was not treated fairly.
4. There is no alternative effective remedy available to the applicant, and the circumstances are exceptional in this case because he has been trea

Having paid £185 for a online money claim, the Judge put the case forward to be heard in the small claims court, another £335. I sent all the evidence in.
At the hearing l was treated like the defendant. It was clear that the Judge had made his mind up before the case started. At the end of the case he went straight into the summing up and made the Judgement against me. It made no difference what l said, The defendant was untruthful and the Judge knew it. It was a waste of time and money, farcical.

I had my money under the protection of The Court of Protection via Deputy Julia Lomas of Irwin Mitchell Solicitors.
I was defrauded out of £450,000 and with other mis-management claims the total loss I incurred was £575,000.
The situation went before an arbitrator and all Irwin Mitchell offered as compensation was £80,000. My Barrister managed to get that amount increased to £350,000.
So I ended up £225,000 out of pocket.
Why should I end up £225,000 out of pocket due to the mis-management of a Court of Protection Deputy. The whole point of placing my money in the hands of The Court of Protection was to protect it.
Why can't I claim the £225,000 directly from The Court of Protection? I am not at all happy about the situation.

Hi I need some help my partner is in a court hearing with a judge that is very biased she has a Cao and this was set by this judge but the judge was previously demonstrated against by father for being the opposite way now she seriously favours the fathers my partner has enough conflicting evidence to contradict the ex husbands claims she is breaking the order but the judge will not even acknowledge what she has to say only her sons father gets to say his accusations she doesn’t have the money for a solicitor but the judge refused a Mckenzie friend with no reasonable grounds last hearing she has sent her acknowledgment and told the judge she would like a Mckenzie friend this time the judge has replied that she will deal with the application for a Mckenzie friend at commencement of the hearing is this correct way to deal with this the ex states in one statement he says he applies for csa he was the one not paying and my partner had to apply and also has an email for being the applicant for csa plus at least three other lies she can prove with messages and email we just don’t know which way to turn

I lodged a civil case against my old boss who then became my landlord when I took over the business and insisted he took my old position; something I felt coerced into agreeing to for fear he would make my tenancy difficult.

Long story very short - he made my life hell for a year. I have suspicion that he had me take on the business for his financial gain with the goal of making me give up my position - he could then come back and take over again without having to pay back the six figure sum he received. When his attempts of causing financial stress failed, and his attempts of bullying and victimisation failed, and his onslaught of various forms of harassment failed; he ended my tenancy agreement and kicked me out.

I knew this would happen and already organised with the company to move me. But i had to pay a portion of the move.

So I began the process of seeking damages through a civil hearing listing 26 allegations which go against the protection from harassment act.

The first sheriff said I had a case and proceeded with it. There were 3 case management meetings and two deferred dates.

Then lockdown kicked us in the booty and 2 years after me having him served, another sheriff is now making me drop the case saying that my extensive list of allegations is "laughable" and wouldn't amount to harassment of any sort.

This guy literally thinks that it's okay for a 65 year old to grab his 30 year old boss'/tenant's backside and ask guys what my nails feel like on their back.

What's worse us that the cretin is now suing me for his 2 years of solicitor fees.

How is it fair in any world that the sheriff makes somebody drop a case without giving them their fair hearing, after TWO YEARS, and then expects them to pay the other party's fees??
Jamie 02/10/2020 at 2:20 pm
Hi my name is Jamie and I am extremely upset and feel like I’m being victimised, as I am a white Muslim , I attended court today for my husband. I had to come in and out of the court building, and there was only male security at the door, the issue is not with the fact that they are male but the made me me feel extremely nervous. As every time I would walk past them they all would turn and stare at me! Making it plainly obvious it was me they were turning there gaze to! And when I was outside 4-5 of these very intimidating men would then stand facing me talking amongst themselves about me!! 2 of these gentlemen then came out to have a cigarette and stared blaitently at me ! Making me feel very uncomfortable! Every time I came back in they took longer than the usual time they did with others than they did me !! I suffer with anxiety so this did not help me at all, I get a lot of abuse as I am white and Muslim in the streets and expected better from them as I’m in a court building. I then raised my concerns and they raised their voices and denied my feelings and my opinion! I then asked to make a complaint, the only female security walked away from me passing me on to duty manager, who then was not going to let me make a full complaint, stating that we are all Muslim and that is why they were staring! In my faith men shouldn’t act this way and should show the up most respect! I finally managed to get the “wrong” details given to me on purpose! So I found yourself myself, and when the duty manager was aware of what I was doing, he then approached me as I’m sat down, again denying my feelings! And said we are all Muslim and that I should not make a complaint due to this!! Hey

I have a complaint about the handling of myself over a alleged " complaint " for sending unwanted text messages ( Which are easily ignored or blocked ) and letters ( which can easily be thrown away ) . If I was to know they were distressing I could have had a chance to stop. ( I had of my own accord and even informed her brother I would make efforts for up to a year as all I was receiving was silence )
How ever her alleged complaint taken by a DC , whom has decided to " investigate " under the title of " harassment " resulted in arrest at an airport coming home, though I fail to see how that is warranted ? Given I had stopped sending letters and being in a different country where I wanted to stay should be a indication of my lack of interesting in " harassing " any one in this country . It seems like the other way around in regards to the police whom kept turning up at my parents prior. I reassured my parents I have not committed any crimes and it must have been attached to a TFL ( None applicable dept ) . I had not contacted the person for some time , was not in receipt of a warning or basic caution. I am struggling to understand why something so basic would result in 12 hours in custody a air port arrest and " investigation " seeing my phone taken when has resulted in continued inconvenience an inability to access my emails, gov gate way , universal credit sites , as my phone number is needed for every thing on line. This is a discriminatory, exasperated , inflamed , disproportionate attack on my person .
Over something that could have been resolved with a simple letter.
Proper code of conduct .
I feel totally victimized, threatened , exposed to basically what feels like authority abuse.
I have been told I need to attend a" bail " date in a different part of town, at a different station, over summer, this another inconvenience .
The alleged " victim " of to many endearing, attentive communication told me she had " mental health issues " like " anxiety " so my communication was always respectful, if she didn't care for the messages or letters, all she needed to do was verbalize that .
I believe the investigator is acting in some what on his own desire too penalize someone of the LGBT community .I believe this maybe be a set up , I believe it to be a lot of things other then professional or intending on justice when it has now coursed so much in my direction of a disproportionate almost hateful nature.
The person the letters were addressed to did not verbalize a want I stop sending letters of a caring nature. Thus police could have, with out any of this DISTRESS AND DURESS.. Advise, how I tackle this injustice and discrimination in the system.
I believe their investigation to be violation, invasive and inappropriate. I have been highly inconvenienced and need this to stop . I do believe it is starting to resemble a form of negligence in my human rights and its on going nature systematic abuse. Stop it before it does is the ad

Corruption rife 28/06/2020 at 10:49 pm
Warrington Court and Winsford ticket office (approved by police)
are revenue raising from mobile speed cameras using civilian operators in the Crewe and surrounding areas, by picking specific spots where no deaths/accidents have taken place. They are ruining lives by fines and points for driving 35mph in 30 limits. sending people to trial in mock court settings outside the area of the mock offences.. These people in Warrington court and the police conspirators need to be brought to justice and exposed for corruption.

I am the defendant in a civil case that has been struck out twice and two reinstatement hearings dismissed. The judge accepted the claimants solicitors word that it was due to his own incomptance so refused to block claimant from reclaiming again....for a 3rd time. The Judge did not read my statement proving that this was not true and also said that I had defended the case myself prior to this final hearing which again is not correct as he would have seen had my statement been taken into account. I would like to complain to the court but feel I may prejudice any further hearing

My girlfriend was arrested in the UK last September 2019 and taken to Jersey Channel Islands to face charges of money laundering (a friend asked her to take back a couple of thousand pounds to the UK from Jersey which she thought was legitimate money).
It was four weeks after she was arrested until she was given a Solicitor and has been on remand since. The case is due to be heard in September 2020.
She is on remand for almost a year for something she didn't do. Bail was declined and the solicitor she has been given to deal with her case is not even a criminal defence Advocate.

Despite Jersey being part of the UK it seems the legal system there works very differently to how it works in England.

My ex husband gave me some money for my children and now I’m being trialled for conspiracy to supply class a b c and money laundering. I have, on a number of occasions reported him to the police now because he gave me some money I’m being dragged into his mess! The police have been awful with me Iv worked all my life and always respected them and now they make me sick! There’s no support for anyone who is innocent the toll this has had on my mental state is horrendous. All because he gave me money to go to toy shop as he hadn’t given me a dime in years. If I was reading this about someone else I wouldn’t believe it! But it is sadly very true and my life is ruined.
Silvia 08/05/2020 at 3:28 pm
The court changed banking details and this has resulted in me not getting my kids maintenance for December 2019, January 2020 and the current month April. I have been following up with Pinetown court and father's work(Eskom). Eskom paid the court and the court hasn't paid me. This happened long ago and I didn't follow it up because I thought the court won't Rob me maintenance money for kids, now that it's happening again Im starting to worry that someone there is ripping us off and using our kids money for personal use.
Please do assist and let's expose who ever thats responsible for taking our kids monies.

Hi I'd like to share my story of serious judicial dishonesty at the top of the UK Judiciary.
The Supreme Court who lied in a Judgment to facilitate a fraud against me. I can prove the above and more including a Police cover up and am looking for an outlet to get me story out, can you help ?
Emily 25/03/2020 at 4:53 pm
Hello, my dad was murdered last year and we have really been kept out of the loop with regards to his case. We kept getting ignored by the courts when asking about the case. His trial actually happened last week and nobody told us?? Perpetrator got convicted for manslaughter but we feel we have missed out on seeing justice be done and would have helped our mental health massively to know what was going on. Is this weird?? We want to complain but don’t know our rights etc please can someone help me.

Would you believe it my family are the centre of using the family courts to steal my children and the Judge agreed to illegal child trafficking my child. I have reported my parents the police they have ignored all the abuse and that my son has been threatened that if he talks he will be killed and they will kill his parents.
I want to report her to the police, how can you convict someone with no evidence and why does my parents want to steal our son. The judge has a has a track record of errors, however, I feel that she and the social services will send people to harass, stalk and mysterious appear at my social places(online) like they have been doing for a year.
The social services and Cafcass also need to be reported to Scotland Yard as they are part of the scandal and have threatened me with psychiatry because I exposed their plan. They have deleted and added new evidence which is crazy and people from the outside who have read this think they are insane. How do they get away with this crap! Social Services, Cafcass need to be exposed for the crimes and the Judges that support their actions for profit and self gain.
I need your advice people.

A referral came to our Serious crime unit
At new Scotland yard in July regarding a
Corruption Case involving a bent cop from
Windsor Police Force in Berkshire.
The Crooked police officer who tried to
Hide various documents from a criminal
Case in 2017 involving a illegal immigrant
Who entered the UK on false documents
And the bank Statements Were mysteriously
Missing including voicemails from the illegal
Immigrant threatening to plant narcotics
Were also hidden from the criminal investigation
Sally.meaden@met.police.uk
Cabinet office 21/08/2019 at 2:53 am
We were cc some emails regarding this case
The CPS and the police were involved with hiding
Evidence at the crown court in reading berks
However the Witness was found lying in court
As she falsely claimed being kidnapped but
The court was shown pictures of her Christmas shopping together with the kidnapper in London
1 week after she claimed she was kidnapped
Full of toilet waste lying to the crown court
And the lying witness was arrested for various
Assaults by Staines police station.
Cant believe that that person was able to lie
And get away with perverting the course of justice with help from the crooked Cops at
Windsor police station.
I read the man was sent to prison unfairly
Because the email said the cps/police were
Hiding evidence from the court.
I have never trusted the police.
Horrific domestic violence by a woman who shouldn't have been in the UK.

Hello, can anybody advise me on this?

We have had a case in for a refund which was failed to be given even after they admitted they owe the monies but can’t pay it!

We had to go court and they transferred it to our local court I was advised around 3 weeks to get it to the judge and after 2 months I called they lost my case? It was found later that date stuffed down back of cabinet and they said they make it a priority 1 week later I called again and then told they not sure they will call me back the woman on phone said she would send me the allocation of the hearing???
It takes 1 min to read my papers and decided it doesn’t need £355 hearing charge and to wait until November 2019 for a hearing I have all supporting evidence! I strongly feel the judge hasn’t even looked at this at all! As another customer went to another court and they asked him for the evidence straight away.

I would like some advice on how to go about complaining about a county court judge. We recently went to a repossession hearing due to the fact that our landlord is trying to get us out of the property. We had previously been served with two invalid section 21 notices. The judge didn't listen to me and told me that tenants have no rights. He wouldn't read the letter from my doctor stating how all these housing issusues were causing me a huge amount of stress and making me ill.
I felt sure that we would be heard and justice would be done and instead he was biased dismissive and rude towards me playing with paperclips when I spoke.
I have now discovered that as the section 21 notices were invalid that we can get the possession order set aside because it shouldn't have been made but the down side is that we have to pay £255 in order to get it put aside. I feel upset and let down.

Does anyone know the process of making a asking for a judicial review? Starting from compsoing a letter of complaint, to filing the complaint at a court. I am mentally disabled on sickness benefit, and cannot afford or obtain pro bono legal help.
Denise 30/04/2019 at 1:33 pm
I have been in a controlling and coercive relationship for the last 30 years, as well as being psychologically and emotionally abused ("if you go for a walk you will be raped or murdered", not allowed to visit my mother more than once/year, have no friends, been forced to use my birthday money for things for the kids etc). At counselling, my ex said "this is so easy to fix - all she has to do is give in" Throughout the divorce process (2 years and still going on!) this is the approach he has taken, until I have run down the marital assets available in my name (obviously the majority are in his name). The legal system has allowed him to get away with not paying child maintenance for 2 years, lied on his form E about over £100,000, omitting £20,000 income at FDR, he is refusing to pay maintenance for our children whilst at university, knowing that I will go without food etc in order to support them. I have paid legal fees out of my interim maintenance, whilst he used marital assets. My barrister at FDR said I had 3 minutes to sign the agreement or it would cost me £50,000 to go to final hearing, so obviously I signed the Heads of Agreement (still waiting a pension report). In total, he has cheated me out of over £135,000!
Apparently you can not raise "bad behaviour" in the divorce courts until final hearing, yet the costs to get that far are prohibitive. The system is so unjust as I, and many others no doubt, are just forced to give in as we can not afford to fight for what we are entitled to, and so people like my ex continue to exploit women and get away with it. Who do I complain to or how do I go about trying to change the system?

There is no justice in the UK ,the judges do literally as they please ,as do the police ,our son was given 22yrs on a gbh with intent charge with no evidence ,the witness a local drug dealer,the judge had made up his mind over a cup of tea before any trial ,we believe and so did the whole gallery that the judge swayed the jury ,these trials should be televised and these judges have someone to answer to

I have identified a magistrates court signed off on a liability application outside of the magistrates court act 1980. The DJ was not satisfied to grant the liability order as the figures could not be proven nor relied upon and so placed the order in abeyance. I have recently had my appeal upheld and the magistrates court are now obstructing my filing a claim for compensation despite the company who brought the liability application nilling the original assessment. Meaning I was unfairly dragged through the courts for no reason, having paid my solicitor over 5 thousand pounds to date he does not specialise in compensation claims. I have been obstructed by the staff at the magistrates court repeatedly, I am now considering suing the magistrates court for this failure to deal with my case. subject to s.64 of the magistrates court act 1980 and the appeal tribunal court and enforcement act 2007.

Hi
My partner has just been found guilty to conspiracy to class a drugs, there was never any drugs money, etc found in his possession, during the trial the judge allowed a juror who knew another defendants dad stay on the jury is this allowed ? Also evidence was used against my partner when someone else was given a caution at another address that was warrented. Is this allowed, when it came to sentencing the judge gave him an extra 2 years as he said that in 2011 he was charged with supplying class c, he has never been convicted of this charge ! I feel there was a misjustise during this trial, is there anyone out there who could possibly enlighten me on the law regarding this.
Thank you in advance.

My husband received a NIP for a vehicle as he is the registered keeper but does not and did not drive the vehicle on the date of the incident. He wrote and told them he was not the driver of the vehicle and requested photographic evidence. There is no way he can identify who was driving the vehicle so passed the letter over to his wife who is responsible for the vehicle and is the main driver. He then receives a letter to inform him he has been charged with traffic offences. He wrote and informed them his wife was responsible for the vehicle and she has written to them. He never got a response until he received a letter from Southern Derbyshire Court confirming hearing date had been adjourned on the 23.8.17 which he had no idea about and did not receive any correspondence regarding this hearing only the letter to confirm it had been adjourned for the 1/11/17.
All the information was given to CPS and he could not attend the hearing asked for an alternative court hearing near home. Last letter received from CPS was to contact them by secure CJSM email which he did not know what it was and there is no information on the letter how to do this. He searched google and got to the website but couldn't log on. So any additional information could not be sent in time of the hearing. The hearing on the 1/11/17 he has been fined with failing to give information to identify the driver £660 plus £66 victim surcharge and costs £150 with no explanation as to why and what information was presented to the judge. Is there anything he can do?

Kam 12/10/2017 at 3:00 am
The defendant was found not guilty, there was only one witness (1) that gave evidence and he lied, the witness(1) who is the defendants friend has loaned the defendant money and the defendant could only pay the witness (1) back if he was found not guilty. Is this not classed as conflict of interest? I feel the solicitor didn't do her job right. no witnessses were called on the victims behalf, 2 people were due to give evidence up until the day before and then were dropped without an explanation. Is there any organisation I can contact to help the victim? as the defendant got away because of what the witness(1) said. 3 witnesses can testify that his friend lied, I have two witnesses that can verify that his friend (witness 1) said the defendant owes him money.
The defendant was charged with attempted rape, he was a manager were the victim works, (defendant was instructed by higher management to hand in his notice at the time of arrest) witness (1) whom also works now is making the victim work life very difficult by spreading lies and trying to embarrass the victim. I also work at this company and I need to help my friend, I feel the company should stop witness (1) from making the victims life difficult. The defendant also broke his bail by contacting the victim, there was proof of this of social media message and he got away with that too as it didn't class as being intimidation.
I feel a major injustice has been made.
Suffering 23/08/2017 at 8:00 pm
When police ignore what youre saying and fail to investigate fully, lose your CD with critical information and judges fail to see whats missing - what can you do?

Even my solicitor did not raise these aspects in court ... he himself failed my representation giving me no other options saying choose guilty or not guilty.

I only found out later that I could have requested more time to examine what I was shown just before I went in to court by him.
Aj 31/07/2017 at 7:04 pm
@Andyl it's extremely frustrating because I think it was innocently done because other people had gone down to the flat who were also staying there and being drunk they picked up everyone's belongings and took it down thinking it was mine. Everyone was so drunk it's just horrific knowing I'm now stuck with a criminal record for the rest of my life ?? I just wasn't sure how the criminal law worked I thought they had to have 100% evidence showing a person of guilt. Not say to me sorry but we have to assume you stole it because you're seen with it first. God help the day I walk down the same street someone is murdered on because if that's how the law is looks like I'd be blamed for that too. They even accused me of stealing a secret Santa aftershave set, what on earth am I going to do with that being a female and I'm not even seen on cctv with that.
AndyI Editor 31/07/2017 at 2:24 pm
@Aj - It seems it was just one of those situations where the finger might point at you. It's unlikely it can go any further as the court of appeal has decided. It's a case of real bad luck if you didn't do it. If you were really drunk and you can't recall anything and the handbag was found in your flat after you were seen on CCTV picking up the handbag, it is pretty damning.
Aj 30/07/2017 at 5:27 pm
I was accused of stealing at a staff Christmas party last year Dec 2016. I have no recollection of that night but there was cctv of me picking up a handbag and then asking a group of people if it was someone's as I'm seen pointing to it. I then walk off but a minute later I'm seen without it and nothing on me. I had a short dress on with no pockets. We were all staying in the hotel that night as it was closed to the public. The items were then found downstairs in the flat I was sharing with two other people. I had no key to get in to that flat and I wouldn't have had the time to get in the lift and go downstairs with this stuff as I'm seen a minute later after seeing me with the bag to then having nothing. Also aftershave and cigarettes had been taken from someone else and found in the flat downstairs I'm not seen with any of these items yet I've been blamed for absolutely everything in magistrates. I decided to appeal due to the lack of evidence they had against me, but I lost my appeal Friday in crown court. They stayed they felt really sorry for me and my situation and can see I'm an honest individual who was highly upset by this incident but could not over turn my appeal because they have to assume I took all that stuff because I was first seen with the handbag. I feel like I've been made a scapegoat because I was too drunk to remember. I've now lost my security license which I've worked so hard with over the last 4 years and having a criminal record for theft has destroyed me mentally, I just don't know what to do. I'm 31 I've never stolen anything in my life. Whoever asked me to get that bag for them has clearly set me up. Am I able to do anything about this or do I just have to live with it? The police even stated I had nothing on me after I was arrested and taken in to custody. Two Romanian girls accused me of stealing mobile phones out of their bag and £40. That night was a free bar so how can they do me for stealing £40 when I had nothing on me what so ever? I'm baffled I thought the law had to prove undoubtedly of someone's guilty not just assume it must have been me because I was first seen with one bag.
sdl90 12/02/2017 at 3:01 pm
My partner and I were witness to an incident involving my father and his girlfriend. They arrived back from a dinner party they went to together separately, my father had supposedly cheated on his girlfriend with another guest at said party and his girlfriend had hit him, cutting his face. They continued arguing at the house, with his girlfriend pushing him over. MY partner then decided to drive her to a taxi rank so she could go and stay at her parents. The police arrived whilst my girlfriend was driving and accused her of assisting an offender in her absence. They then took my statement and my fathers statement about the incident. My father asked for someone to sit with him during this and he was told he wasn't allowed anyone with him. My girlfriend arrived back halfway through the statement taking and was told to wait in the spare room. Her statement was never taken.

This has now gone to court, however in the initial hearing the cps said that my father had stitches, and she assaulted him again at my house, which is fundamentally untrue, and since raising this issue with the police, along with the fact my partners statement was never taken, both myself and my father have been categorised as "Hostile Witness".

Since the Police/CPS have presented false evidence in court, (provable by medical records,) what is the suggested course of action? Pretty sure if I present false evidence in court I'd be arrested and charged with perverting the course of justice!!
Cal 31/01/2017 at 9:48 pm
Today I attended a meeting with the CPS .to tell me that they will be standing by the decision not to charge my abuser.
I trusted in a police officer when I was 14 to tell him about abuse at home.
He abused me too and forced me to do oral on him.
I cant believe that I don't get a court case because he says he don't know me and through their (Cps) experience they know I wont get anywhere in court.im so angry atm.
It took me all my strength to disclose .
Can you over rule cps .they said it was final.
The decision would not be changed.
Just brings me more self harming and hatred for system
CiaranPatrick 30/01/2017 at 5:07 pm
Hello This is complicated. The police said I was speed and sent original forms. The first one never got to me so I filled in the second one that turned up 7 weeks later. The problem is that we don't know who was driving as my wife and I shared the driving. So when I filled in the form I left the who was driving bit empty. However this is not the problem. I have a clinical hearing disability and I wear hearing aids. In the magistrates court I was put into the only court without a hearing loop and despite me continually saying in court I can't hear the magistrate said when I continually asked the police officer to repeat what was being said the magistrate said that I would get a chance to cross examine later but I pointed out that how can I cross examine something I have not hear. I then had a argument with the barrister as he was shouting at me which did not go down well. I heard nothing. The courts had 3 copies of my hearing disability letter and were told on 5 different occassions that I had a hearing disability. On the day of the magistrates hearing I was toild the magistrate refuses to move the court date. the clerk omitted all mention of my disability and focused just on the legal aspects of the case and ignored my hearing issues. On appeal (I was convicted) this time I had a barrister the crown court judge said the there was a possibility that there was a chance of an unfair trial but he said we should make an application to have the case squashed but it failed. In fact due to the court not taking on board my disability on any level it was totally and absolutely not mentioned at all. The judge said that the courts had made every effort for me to hear but refuse to expand as top how they achieved this. This is a total lie and has left me in court without hearing. Even in the appeal the hearing loop did not work. If you wear the head phone you can't hear a thing and if you wear hearing aids and the headphones you get feed back. The case is simple the police have not proved I was the driver and that me not filling who the driver was, was due to not knowing who the drive was I couldn't fill it in. I have emails from the magistrates court saying they will not discuss my hearing issues in court. This is a total stitch up my this particular court service and they have at every turn not allowed me to hear in court. The court is now saying I admitted to the offense in the original hearing where I could not hear what was being asked. My question given that there is a serious breach of the disabilities act 2010, can you sue the court for compensation and can you sue a judge under the discrimination act 2010 which he should be aware.
Keeley 16/01/2017 at 11:09 pm
My partner was arrested for assault by beating after a third party contact reported he had hit me. This wasn't the case (I had just fallen out with the third party in question) I had actually had a fall a few days previously! When the police spoke to me at my address, they took no statement and no photographs of my injuries (I offered both of these and they refused them saying it would make no difference because it's a dv case). Now there's no history of dv in our relationship of any kind. This has been sent to trial, my partner is not allowed to the family home or to contact me. He is allowed to see our children but this is to be done with me contacting a third party to arrange it. I don't understand how this has gone to trial or how he even got charged when I have told them, the ambulance staff that assisted after the fall and the social services how my injuries occurred! Social services are in agreement that he poses no risk or threat to either me or the children! He can't afford legal fees until he's paid on 31st Jan! But the trial begins on 1st Feb! Can I get my own solicitor to help with a complaint????
CourtroomAdvice Editor 12/12/2016 at 12:02 pm

Is it possible to make a complaint about a historic court case? When i was a child i went to court to give evidence against my abuser and he got let off. 20 years on i have now found out that he was a retired police officer, that the police officer handling the case new him personally. That the court was changed days before i was due to give evidence after my social worker had shown me around another court and showed me where i would be. plus my social worker was changed to and the day i went to court i was made sit in silence for hours in a room next to the court room while my abuser was let roam around free. The police even lost a statement from another child who reported him three weeks before me. Is it possible to have all this looked into and to make a complaint 20 years later ive spent years blame myself for him walking free, and now im adult i have found out that the police and courts where already siding with him because of his police background i never had a chance.

Dusty 27/11/2016 at 12:56 am
We live in Scotland. My daughter was attacked by about 2 girls in a pub but as my daughter only knew who one of the girls was it was just that one that went to court. She had hit my daughter on the face with a stileto heel chipping the jawbone and my daughter also had to get stitches and is marked for life. She was lucky as any lower her artery would have been severed. The girl plead not guilty. My daughter went up to court first time and sat all day they said they had ran out of time so had to go back. Next time a witness was sick so was cancelled. Third time she sat most of the day and procurator fiscal said there wasn't enough evidence to charge this girl so nobody had to go into courtroom and give evidence I think there is something suspicious the other person who was with this girl is a trainee solicitor and the girl who was up at the court comes from a very wealthy family who know all the right people in high positions. Does this usually happen when it has made its way to court. This girl had also assaulted another person and again got off with it

I was hit by a driver in a pedestrian crossing, the driver plead guilty got 3 points and £400 fine, he drove his car threw a red light in a pedestrian crossing hitting me and my dog, I was in hospital 3 weeks, spot of broken bones and left with life changing and also left disabled with many operations and more to come.
The police officer made an unofficial visit to my house tried to come my wife, and then told her he knew the guy who hit he,
He God witnesses and told lies and never once visited me in hospital,
We eventually made a complaint and the traffic inspector came to our house and could nor believe what had gone on.
He gavebus a 4 page report never answered any of our issues,
The complaints division at Hamiltin Glasgow lost our next letter.
We dicided at the time maybe it was a waste of time, but the procurator fisco. Came back to is with a letter saying Strathclyde police did fail in thier duty and didn't give them all evomce,
So 2 years down the road this is still a major issue and j can't move on as how I'm left with life changing injuries,
What can I do to get justice or sweats to our lack of justice,,

Can I make a complaint about a juror? Laughing at the statement I made?

I hope you can advise. We think our brother staged a break in at our late parents' house. The police did not investigate properly, and from the few comment told to me, the investigation has glaring errors, that are provable. Our complaint was investigated by officers at the same station. One of them agreed with us, but he was moved, and his successor closed down investigation. We went through the appeals but got nowhere. All we want are details of the initial findings, but the police won't supply them, despite we are joint owners under the will. The police said today we need a solicitor and court order to see this information. Is there another way, please?

Can a court or authority destroy lives of young people by taking them to court giving them criminal record for riding bike on pavement? For having a firework? And does it depend on race and religion? Also can cps and courts take information from third parties eg public and those who work in public sector as gospel truth as evidence against someone without any substance to it? Therefore destroying lives by accepting statements as there is no way to prove something that has been done, told by another person to defame anothers character.often people who have good jobs are respected and make false accusations against another who they dislike or as a favour for another evil friend of theirs hence ruining the life of another innocent person could be out of jealousy or some grievance they have had from previous years long gone by.is it feasible for those in power for judges to take such uncredible unworthy statements without any evidence what so ever and use it in court against an individual?.i have seen this take form in several court hearings I find elsewhere in the world it is not readily accepted as part of a case.there must be substantial factual forensic evidence to prosecute and convict not hearsay from anyone.also the cps here in many instances dont necessarily want the perpetrator to be punished they just want convictions as a solicitor once said.

my experience has taught me ,in court as long as you are rich you are the winner, the judges here have too much power can twist the fact ,treat poor people as criminal ,they even have decided before they meet you in court,why they still want to arrange a hearing .because they want to make money out of government ,even police has refused to investigate the company we have report being dodgy ,if it was a company report an employee steal money the police would arrest you soon.i have a lot of evidence relate to what this government organzation doing nothing for poor people.i can speak Japanese ,Chinese ,i will work like work for the GOD to warn people in ASIAN ,how a great Britain not only allow rich people to rip off poor people also encourage this kind of criminal to be copied by others,and courts still keep their eyes closed,hope this government really can take notice from poor people said soon ,especially after Brexit because poor dont want to be treated unfair anymore

A bench warrant was issued for my son for failure to appear however he appeared in Denver county court even though we have the paper work proving that his court date was set in the 19th of October. And the clerk told him that he was not on the docket and send us home. The next day a warrant was issued and my son was arrested at school. He's now sitting behind bars with no court date. What are my options. Please help

Can you help or advise on a judges order in court on Sept 2016, regarding an order for costs in a divorce hearing. My ex was seeking costs against me for our divorce, I had asked the courts to allow each of us to pay our own costs due to the person I married had lied to me about her legal status in the UK along with the fact that she was in a long term relationship with another man, and never lived in my property and always rented her own home.. In the courts the judge ordered that we each pay our own costs and that my ex should pay half of my costs I heard what he said specifically and my ex was in tears due to the order. Two weeks later my solicitor sent me a letter stating that the order from the court was that I should pay my ex half of her costs and no mention of who should pay the divorce costs. My solicitor who was not present in court on the day wrote to the courts asking them to correct there error, there reply was the judge stands by what he has said in the letter, this is NOT what he said in the courtroom. I was then advised by my solicitor to write a letter to the courts which my solicitor helped with, two weeks later I have a reply from the courts saying that as I have a solicitor they will only talk to them and they cannot reply to me, that's unfair as they have already replied to my solicitor and they know this. The judge made a mistake and needs to own up to it and correct the error he put in the letter, my house and my whole life depends on his order.

How can you complain if cctv evidence was not shown during a trial? My brother broke into my parents house and chased my dad up the stairs with a 12 inch kitchen knife. Dad locked himself in the bathroom and my brother kicked it in. Dad managed to fight him off and get down the stairs, brother went and got another knife and started trying to cut his own throat and face. Cctv is present and working in the house due to my brothers ongoing violence and drug abuse (he is a repeat offender). We showed it to the police, however brother was taken to magistrates court on Monday morning and given a 4 month custodial sentence for a common assault, of which he will serve two. How can this be right? One officer who dealt with the case thinks that the cctv wasn't submitted and that's why the sentence was so low. We don't accept this sentence and want a review into the handling of the case. Can you advise on the best way to go about it? Thank you.

Are we legally allowed to speak to cps ourselves or not , We are beng told the case has taken 9 months so far with them and they keep asking for documents etc etc the guy was arrested two and a half years ago and still no charge. The officer in charge said we are not allowed to speak to the CPS but my solicitor says cps represent us so we could , As the officer in charge is the only one who knows the case ( her words) if she is of sick or holiday we have to wait. I wonder what would happen if she died would our case be just dropped . All seems very suspect to me and far from happy.

My father inlaw has been arrested and convicted for a crime he did not commit. 13 years behind bars, A 65 years old who have plate in his spinal cord. My father inlaw have had an ongoing fight with his neighbour , A fight is caused by the fact that my father in law received a government RDP house and the neighbour feels that the site where the RDP house was built should have been theirs. So the ongoing fight led to the neighbours plotting a crime against him. And said he raped a boy child 3 years ago. My fatherin law was then arrested and went out on bail. We didn't seek a lawyer because we thought since he's innocent he the court systems will be fair and judge accordingly. He was unfortunately convicted yesterday for 13 years. The Justice systems of South Africa. The judge convicted him based on the fact that he is not working and probably have enough time to can commit such crime. Is there such an evidence. Can a 65 years earning grant money be working or else they will be rapping if not working

Hello, I recently met with my barrister, who was really nice and supportive, the reason I met with him was to go through the court process and discuss a few things as after hearing that my court date is next June and a five day trail, I nearly gave up on the whole thing. I'm on the prosecution. I did my initial police interview 1.4.15, so when it goes to trail it will be two years and two months to get there. The barrister encouraged me to make a complaint/highlight this as he said they all think it's terrible on the inside how long people have to wait but they don't get listened too, and he said the more users of the service that makes complaints the more they will listen....I don't remember where he said to complain too? Any ideas? It will be whatever or whoever is responsible for setting court dates?

Thanks in advance

hi there,
my partner and i am living as a unmarried partner , because my partner has problem back home . She is unable to get divorce. she was scared to get divorce because of fear persecution . i did not push her to take divorce as i love her.
we went to court on her immigration matter, Home office representative asked my partner why you did not take divorce when she told that it is not easy in her country to take divorce and can face persecution.
home officer then asked me dont you think living as a unmarried partner is a " Sin" in your religion . i was shocked on his question , when i objected and my legal adviser objected. Judge allowed permission to ask this question. i had to answer that yes i am doing Sin according to my religion, but it is not against law in United kingdom. From last 6 month i am disturbed and thinking i am a British but why i being asked this question .
I could not find the answer why Home Office representative and Judge insulted me in a such way. I felt so embarrass in front of 4 people including my partners.

I would like to know what law says in this racist behavior?.
thanks

I have had dispute with my neighbours for over five years. They have been the aggressors yet the Police arrests me. I have been arrested twice once for removing bricks and damaging them from my land.The second for pushing a Polycarbonated sheet.When I called the Police they never come yet every time the neighbours call they come knocking on my door. My neighbours have placed a fence on my land by cutting in to my decking yet no action was taken. They repeatedly pushed my Parasol which is now totally destroyed again no action taken. They moved my dustbins on my land on a daily basis no action taken. I believe the Police has taken dislike to me and are taking pleasure in prosecuting me. Where do I go to complain about the Police?

A friend was recently convicted in a magistrate court for the offence of racing. The evidence was statement late by two police officers. However there are witness statements that put the offices statements in question. The officer in question has a history with one of the defendants as he has tried to prosecute him for other offences that were incorrect and they were dropped.
The defendant wanted to appeal but was told that he is likely to fail and his fine and punishment would increase!
The office concerned advised him not to try.
I have reviewed the statements and court information and I feel there has been an injustice. The 21 day appeals time has passed.

There fore would it be possible to make a complaint to the court on the out come of this case or should I take this to my MP and chief of police?

The police phoned me on Friday to say there was a Warrant out for me as I never attended court. I was on a Community payback and was signed off sick by the Doctor.
The Social work e-mailed me and said I would be contacted by the court after she submitted my medical report as the sick note would take me past the time I had to complete.
I never received anything from her or the court. When I contacted the social worker she said the Warrant was issued as I never showed up.
I was told my solicitor could contact the fiscal and ask for me to be invited to court rather than having to spend a night in Jail.

I had a DBS check which revealed a conviction for an offence which I was charged with but never convicted of (I pled not guilty and never went to trial). I asked the court for a Certificate of Conviction which shows that i pled guilty to this offence. This is completely untrue. What can I do? The conviction is several years old.

Please help. My boyfriend went to court last week and got found guilty for something he hasn't done. A boy started on him in town and he went to punch my boyfriend so my boyfriend punched him and he fell to the floor and smacked his head on the curb. The boy suffered with head injuries that are not life threatening but was bleed to the brain building and a fractured skull. He went and said that my boyfriend kicked him in the head which he did not do! The jury instantly thought that was from a kick and pleaded him guilty, he's getting sentenced for either 3-5 years or 5-6 we don't know until he has court again in a few weeks. What can he do? He's going to be going to prison for something he hasn't done?!!!

I'm afraid we cannot advise you regarding this beyond the advice given in the article. The police and other emergency services are provided with training in dealing with/and are given advice on recognising individuals with autism. However, even though you have protested your innocence, it will have to take the matter to court if it thinks necessary and/or if the other person has pressed charges. I suggest if you are not sleeping and/or are fitting, you ensure you first and foremost see your GP about this.

I'm at a lose and not sure what to do. I have lost faith in the justice system and never thought I'd be going through this. I fell pregnant shortly after the suicide of my father who I was close to. I wanted my child and loved my partner. He had a previous addiction which my mother knew about however loved him as a son. My family loved him too.

During my pregnancy I became very ill. I had come off anti depressants for fear of harming my unborn child, I was trying to hold down a very professional job, move home and deal with many things which did not help my mental health. I was referred to the perinatal team who Asked me if I wanted to go into a mother and baby unit. I was terrified of doing this as read social services would be involved In my life. I'd never had dealings with social services however one always fears they are like the big bad wolf who takes children away etc. I therefore chose to rely on my family (mum and two sisters) who lived in a different city to me.

Unbeknown to me the perinatal team had already involved social services due to my mental health. If I'd known I would have gone into the unit! Fast forward to the end of my pregnacy I'm extremely unwell, my life felt it was falling apart and I found out if been referred to social services. Being ill and probably fearing the worse i made the buzzare decision for one of my sisters who cannot have children of her own to take my child as soon as was born. It all seems like a blur / dream after that. I went into a mental hospital, my mother came to stay with my partner reassuring him I was making the right decision as my sister would look after my baby; my brother in law also has conversations with him advising they would give our son best start in life (they are very wealthy) and would look after our son until I was well enough to make a sane decision.

What followed is now two years of hell - I have no family and no baby and lost all faith ! My sister took my son from birth, I was asked signed a discharge form just to release my son from hospital and to ignore the legal stuff by my 'supportive' sister and brother in law who I quote said: for God sake we are family and here to help'. As soon as paper signed, my sister, brother in law, my mother. And baby were in a car and heading down the motor way. 4 days later We are issued with a without notice court order containing some pretty nasty things about my mental health. I develop post partum psychosis following the shock end up in a respite place and spend next year trying to recover mentally whilst dealing with it all.

We started to gain visitation rights to our son 3 months after his birth and passed a parenting assessment with flying colours all the time my sister, brother in law and other sister are writing venomous statements, making accusatons. Every time I had a mental assessment and I was positive or something went our way they threw mud! My mum sat back all the time saying she wanted to stay out of it (a

End of or so I thought I've just checked my licence online and I have the 3 points plus the six points the courts have failed to take off I'm starting to lose my rag with this lot as in court the police took a while to find my case file then the lady who talks to judge couldn't find my paperwork for a while. It's Friday evening so I have to wait till Monday to sort this now. Is it worth making a complaint?
CourtroomAdvice Editor 20/05/2016 at 10:22 am
I am sorry to hear you are upset the person who has committed a crime against you has managed to avoid prosecution. However, there are several reasons why you may be awarded money even though no one is convicted for the offence which caused your injury. Those reasons might be; the person who committed the crime that caused your injury cannot be found, i.e an attack took place but the attacker remains unknown, or if you did know the person there was not enough evidence to prove that person guilty. I hope this helps.

Please help clear my mind.
Something happened to me when I was younger, and I only reported in 2011-2012 it went to court in 2014 on a four day trial, after 3 days in magistrates, and the defendant got acquitted even tho I was told we had a strong case and witnesses came forward I also had messages as evidence. Anyway I got offered the maximum amount of criminal injuries compensation of £10,000 which was in my account within 2-3 weeks, now what I don't understand is why I got offered that if the defendant wasn't sent to prison? I am confused, because the compensation makes me feel the defendant must of been guilty because I the victim got paid compensation.. Please explain, I would of rather a conviction than compensation, it plays on my mind everyday that this criminal is still free but basically I got paid off to keep quiet :( everyone I ask for advise cannot understand it either, my complaints were ignored And now I feel it's to late but my mind cannot rest

I went to county court hearing. I had an invoice to pay. When county court papers came to me i admitted my invoice but disagreed aganist the interest charged.The reason why i did not pay my invoice was because the claimant was demanding payment in full not in instalments. It went to court but the district judge failed to look in to the case and basically said because i admitted payment i have to pay. The judge failed to ask claimant about letter of claim or letter of action but was more interested in my reply to the claim when i part admitted.. My invoiced stated that failure to pay invoice after 28 days my invoice will be passed on to the debt collecting agency then why didnt the judge question this to the claimant to why they done a county claim if invoices do get passed on to debt collecting agencies?. Also when getting the claim i requested a copy of my contract from the claimant since july 2015 but they ignored me but on the hearing they produced a contract surely the judge should of asked why they didnt provide defendant with copy of contract it could of stopped alot of wasting time. Also prior to the claim there were evident emails the claimant made it clear they didnt want my invoice payment in instalments so why didnt the judge look at this.I just feel the district judge looked at it as yes you admitted you gotta pay and you will pay.

A case I have been involved in as a friend of the victim, seems to have not been dealt with properly by the police, CPS or court. The sentence was given to the offender by the court. However, in my opinion it was lenient and also the magistrate was told what category of crime it was by CPS and no harm eg violence involved but the victim has suffered serious emotional and mental distress and has lossed the confidence to do the most basic of things and yet this was not mentioned or considered in court when the categorisation of the crime was announced in court. The magistrate seemed to be in agreement with the CPS before all the evidence was laid before the court. The victim was also not asked or given the opportunity to do a Victims' Personal Statement. If the additional information from the victim regarding harm had been given to the court, I feel it may well have made a significant difference to the sentence the offender received. What can be done to address this and how does the victim make a complaint.

I received a caution for ABH 3-4 years ago . I was in an abusive relationship and when punched in the head I picked up a nail scissors and waved them about . My partner took them off me and received an abrasion to his hand . I had a bleeding nose , cut mouth and a hematoma on my head and required hospital treatment . I recently had a DBS come back and saw the caution for ABH on it . I remember the police vaguely being at the hospital but can't recall any conversation between us . i am disgusted that I have this caution and would like to complain about the police officers dealing with this case. Is it too late ? As this has serious implications on my future career .

I have a couple questions if you end up in a situation where you allow your minor child to go to another state with his grandparents to your daughter's home at first for the summer then they decided to move to the other state and call and ask you to also move up and you agree to. They plan to return in a month or so to retrieve us and our belongings. In this time they call and school begins a lot earlier than the state we lived in and want to enroll my son due to we will soon Be joining them. my daughter attempts to do so and is told she can not without this paper she mails me a generic temporary limited to school and emergency medical only guardianship form that I sign and return to her. It was not done in court. Then about a month or so goes by and my parents and daughter fall out and she kicks them out and they return home and she refused to let my son come back . I go to get him and she refused to allow me my son and lies saying im on drugs. I call the law and they refuse to allow me my son and lie to me telling me that my daughter already had something thru the courts and tell me that I am not allowed to go to her home or attempt to get my son or will be arrested. The next morning I go to the courts and find that she did not have anything whatsoever filed in the courts. I attempted to file a order of protection on behalf of my son and they send me to the donestic violence center which tells me they had indeed spoke with my daughter and she had not filed anything there either however they refused to assist me in getting the opp. And send me to the self help center to do it myself on the computer meanwhile they call my daughter and have her come down and in turn file one go her against me ...while I am in the self help room my son in law serves me with a notion.to obtain guardianship that my daughter had just filed and that was it. It Said my hearing was in two days. I go and file my opp and was told I would need to go in front of the judge to explain my situation and get it granted. I waited from open to close. I ask the worker if they would be holding the guardianship hearing also that day as I was getting a lawyer for it and she assured me they would not be. I go for what i was told was a oop hearing after hours with no one but the woman in the clerks office who lied to me and the judge and my daughter. They get us in there and say after talking to my son they felt he was in no danger of being abused or likewise from neither party and was dismissing both oop filed then she grants guardianship to my daughter. I told her I was told they would not be having this until scheduled two days away . I told her I planned to have a lawyer for this. She saud well we decided to have it today and the next hearing will be in three months so im sure you can get a lawyer by then right??? I did get a lawyer to find out that 1) the judge held a hearing out of her jurisdiction and against the probate act as she is in probate court and there is no such

I send email to head teacher and she replied this incident never happen , we do not have in record or staff do not have any knowledge of it.police taken me to police station in 2014 for violence , she said I kicked her. But after police investigation they did not charged me and let me go free.i explain to judge but he did not listen . He just issue Non molestration order with out any evidence against me.

They have wreathed her dress, certificate, pan card, vote I'd, ration card, bank book and jewels. So she has not gone to apply any govt job and private job also.

My son was invited to an engagement party of a work collegue and was violently assaulted by the 'bride to be's' partner. My son is 18, the attacker 27. This was a witnessed unprovocked assault where my son was lifted from his seat and told he had five seconds to leave by the attacker. The attacker was previously seen to be throwing out other young male partygoers and verbally abusing a member of bar staff. He was then thrown out of his own engagement party by the staff members for his abusive behaviour. My son and his friends had left the venue without arguement and as he was waiting for a taxi outside the venue the abusive man came outside, held my son against a car and punched my son in the face and head 8 or nine times.The man also threatened my sons friend who is 17. I took my son to the police station the next day only to be told that they could not make statements at that time and that we would have to call 999 (either at home or on their payphone which was 3 metres away!) I made the call giving details and was told to wait with my son until an officer could attend. After waiting nearly an hour I was then told someone was on their way. Another 20 mins went by and then we were told that the officer could not now attend as another 'emergency' took priority.We would have to make an appointment to make a statement. The following evening an officer came to my home address where a statement was given and witnesses details were given. When I explained that my son was frightened of his attacker I was given a number to call if there were any incidents of intimidation. Three days later the attacker came to my sons place of work and was seen loitering in the department where my son works. He was asked to leave by the security team. I called the number given as soon as I heard only to find that the number 'was no longer in use'. I then called 101 asking for an officer to attend my sons workplace and was told that they were 'short staffed'. I left my place of work to attend to my sons fear and asked the officer who took our statement to call me back. When I pointed out that the attacker had been seen loitering in my sons department and didnt have the means to be buying Hugo Boss suits (as he's a bin man) and would have had to travel over 20 miles from his home address to get to the store so it was unlikely he was there for any other reason than to intimidate my son, I was told that he 'could have just been shopping'! Two weeks after the offence I have now been informed that the attacker has received a caution and advised to stay away from my son, but no actual conditions. If my son had not been with friends who pulled the attacker off my point is that his injuries could have been a lot worse (He had swelling to his cheek bone and eye socket) Apparently as the attacker has no previous convictions for violence they thought a caution was sufficient to the case! I am totally horrified that this violent monster has not been brought to any suitab

Hi really needing some advice , my daughter is being bullied at school and over social media she is 15 , there is 11 kids against my daughter , the school have removed her to another school , but can't deal with the bullies as I have all the screen shots and they have said the threats are for the police as they are serious , (I can send screen shots if needed ) , I had police come out this morning and apparently she is not willing to do anything as the bullies have used bray , bat , one bomb , scrapping (which all means fight and cause harm ) then apparently they are not direct threats , I asked the police officer to leave my home as she looked at my daughter and basically said they can bully with them words but if they use the word "fight " then they will do something ... I need to know if I can do something about this as my daughter will not go out , she is scared for her saftey as she will still see these girls on her way to and from her new school and the bullies will also attend the same building on a Tuesday and Thursday which is still putting my daughters safety in jepody , as police will not even look at it as bullying or threats so it will not stop help plz

He reported an assault. There is CCTV. No police attended my home or was searched. The toy was given back to the 9 year old it belonged to. He was interviewed in my absence 13 weeks later.. held for 3 hours in custody before calling me. Ignored my agreement I would attend the interview. Interviewed and charged in my absence. My Son not aware he could have a solicitor. Attended court for an assault charge.

I was arrested 9th October 2014 for alleged homophobic comments x 3 to my homosexual neighbors . Because i was on a 6 month suspended prison sentence for previous comments made to them i spent 7 months in prison awaiting trial. I was found not guilty on one count and no majority verdict on the other two in May 2015 . The CPS decided to go for a retrial on other two counts , have had numerous dates for retrial , the latest being 21st December 2015 and the judge said there was no time to here the case and set a date of 6th June 2016 .
My bail conditions since leaving prison are , not to enter the village where i live so banned from living in my own home , have had to find an alternative living address My barrister argued to have my bail conditions changed but to no avail .
There has never been any threats or violence made towards these Gays .
There are a couple of points that are important to this case .
1) The police were informed at arrest and interview that i had CCTV and would show where i was when the alleged comments were made . No attempted was made by the police to view CCTV and it was not until my court appearance in May 2015 did the Judge order the police to seize the machine from my barrister for viewing , the CPS later accused me of tampering with evidence ( i e the CCTV machine ) how could i , i was in prison .
2) Although my gay neighbors have CCTV no attempt has been made by the police to submit anything as evidence . It is just the gays word the police/CPS are taking , also on one allegations the gays cannot remember which date it was 16th or 17th , although they say in there statement they wrote everything down if they heard anything .
3) The police have not disclosed anything as to why things have not been done .
The police have spoken to other neighbors and they have stated they have heard no homophobic comments made by me towards the gays .

If you are unhappy with the way Cafcass has dealt with the issue then you do have some recourse to complain. However, with Cafcass the complaints procudure is not the easiest and should really be done when you first hear the report (before it goes to court). In the first instance, you should make a complaint in writing to the Regional Complaints Manager in your area. If your complaint is considered to have merit, it will be ‘registered’. You will be given reasons if it is not registered. If this happens, you can ask for a review by a Regional Director (but you must do this within 10 working days). Again, if you are not happy, you can go to the Parliamentary and Health Service Ombudsman, but you must do this through your Member of Parliament.
Elvin 08/02/2016 at 3:30 pm
I recently went to court and was not given a fair hearing on a family issue as the judge refused to allow me to speak or defend any unfair allegations on an unfactual report written by a dishonest Cafcass officer. Who because I complained about her to her management before the court hearing - maliciously changed her recommendation with vindictive intention at the detriment of the children whose voice was then completely ignored ..Her report was riddled with dishonest fabricated statements where she even had the name of an unknown child in the report !!! ...Yet the judge still unfairly allowed the report to stand despite wrong significent facts which were used to make an unfair decision, whilst giving me no opportunity to question the untruthful info...as a litigant in person ...and refused to see some very important supporting documents from the school head ...which would have forced her to reconsider her judgment ...I am also very concerned that my complaint about the unfactual report was completely disregarded by the judge who strangely refused to consider any other important evidence which I had to support me against the Cafcass officers facts and judgment ..My children's clear voice wishes were also ignored despite a previous judge confirming that due to their ages of 13 and 11 that consideration should be given to their voice..The result is
was this did NOT happen for the wrong reasons as the Cafcass report should have been discarded. ..The result of the changed judgment which incidently I have not received after 2 weeks is the children are now unsettled and unhappy leaving me with an unnecessary and unfair problem to
Manage as both my older daughter were suffering from significent safe guarding problems with her mother which were deliberately not in the or was the issue about mothers bipolar anger management concerns which is still effecting the children.. What concerns me is I thought the Judicial system was there to protect the children and not support unruly dishonest cafcass officers who are a clear danger to all children as the many complaints clear show about Cafcass and its very poor management .

My boyfriend was over the house. Everyone knows we date. I picked him up and police was waiting. He went down to the station all they did was question him about something they thought he might know. He's not in my lease but the next day the officers contacted where I live to let them know his information and that they spoke to him. Even tho they called him that same night and asked him to keep quiet about what they asked him. Was that even legal? Office has been on my case about who he is because they assume he lives with me and where I live is low income

I have been charged with shouting and swearing in the town of Dalbeattie im not from here originally im from Ayrshire people here have or think they have a law unto their selves they even had a woman's potition which was published in their local paper to get the undesirable folks moved out the town i have been talked about accused ever since I've moved here i go to my mum's house just to get away from this living nightmare town I've been assaulted talked about judged and i don't even know the people .now i have to go to court and the three witnesses are not telling the truth I've got a past history but does that mean I'm guilty i don't have a chance the courts are suppose to protect you and who are they going to beleave when at my trial. My only hope is if my solicitor can get cctv for the night in question i have accepted that i will get a sentence if I am found guilty but when I'm asked to make a plea and my lawyer tells me there is three pillars from the community against you do i continue my not guilty plea or do i just accept it if they can make up false statements they can make up something more serious . I'm a christian well practising Christian do i convict these people that much they have to conspire and seek to cause me harm .

My partner was arrested and subsequently convicted .
Iv received a forfeiture letter from NCA. Within this document , not only have they added words that were not said , they have twisted what was said, and the bottom line is defamation of my character within. I have never been so angry!
While I gave proof , and this information was corroborated,by an independent 3rd party . The NCA officer is determined one way or another they are to be keeping what is rightfully mine. Why? Poor legal advise and me being told to keep quiet ,by my partners barrister!
My partner still has a POCA investigation.
This is the first time ever in my life Iv had any dealings with police. And I don't know where to turn.

Police keeps raiding the house where me and my parents live. My brothers have ASBOS and we have removed them from the house. They don't come to the house anymore but police still raid it. We have explained to them time and time again that my brothers don't live here anymore and that we want to be left alone. My old parents and I are always left shaken and emotional. We feel harassed by the police. What can we do for them to stop raiding the house.

My 14 year old son was arrested after I sent him to the shop to get some pasta. A few minutes after living the house he saw a man wearing a hood telling him to stop and walking faster towards him, he got scared and run that same man ran after him and caught up with him he used excess force holding my son head on the ground hurting him in the process. My son didn't know who he was until he saw a police officer on uniform. He didn't resist arrest or said anything wrong. He was than told that the reason why he was arrested was that they believe he was the one that had committed an offence towards an other police officer. My son was with me most of the afternoon when it supposedly happened part from when he was at school. He was taken to the police station at around 18:00 to midnight . I was worried sick and made about 200 calls to his phone number. And had to go out to look for him. My son is a very good boy and never had any problems with anyone before that day. I had tone call the police and after 1 hours and about 15 min I received a call from the police telling that my son was arrested. They couldn't tell me or Show me any statement made by the officer has they say they were busy with an other more important issues. They released my son to me saying that he must come back to give his statement 2 about weeks after his arrest. They took his print and pictures and dna. I. Know my son hasn't done anything wrong and he (we) are so hurt and upset about it. I was worried sick I thought he was hurt somewhere, because each time I was calling him the phone was dropped on the other side. They (police ) could not pick up the phone to answer it has it clearly was saying Mum calling. I need advice please as it is not over yet.

My ex husband omitted information in family court that could have had the Judge make a totally different ruling.
In my divorce my ex husband petitioned on unreasonable behaviour with another woman whom he didn't name but he then 6 months later moved in with.
He omitted to tell the Judge that he was in a relationship with said person in family court when we were discussing our children. He sent me an email the same day the court proceedings ended to tell me he was moving in with her that day.
He also lied in the financial dealings saying he wasn't in a relationship with her - he was actually living with her, they posted photos of their holidays in Thailand together with my children. She killed herself last year and he was classed as her partner, and had been for 7 years.
My children never ever had contact with me again after that day due to them. They made my life a misery with all their lies through the media.
I had no legal representation as I was out of work for my divorce.
I am out of work now so can't afford legal representation to follow this through.
I haven't felt strong enough to takle this until now.
What can I do to set things right?

I'm afraid you are highly unlikely to be awarded Legal Aid if you are earning. If there is a court order in place stating that you owe her this money, she can take it back to court in an attempt to have the order enforced. You, on the other hand would have to prove that you never owned the companies, or had the money she claimed.

In 5 he family court a judge made a order based on untrue facts and none attended by myself. My ex wife said I owned companies and had monies I haven't got. The judge made a order for a large amount of money to her that I haven't got. We had no children and lived in a rented council house. She took everything from me and threw me out. Now she still wants this money. I am divorced from her and remarried and have brought a house with a large morgage with my new wife who her and my sister helped with the deposit. I cant get legal aid as I work. I represented myself in court and the judge ignored everything I was saying.....

The Birmingham civil courts are the peoples public court and the chancery division officers and judges are paid out of the public purse. Corrupt judges and public officers don't act in the interest of the public. A criminal gang operate within and they run and use the building as their office.

Hello it seems police have messed up my case and ruining my life, I was accused of rape by something my partner wrote in her diary, she hasn't given them a statement and told them she doesn't remember writing it in there. However I got a police bail and now I can't go home, no contact with my partner at all, I know from friends she's told police seem to being pressuring her to carry on case when she's said no and wants everything dropped and for me to come home, now she's gone into police protection custody and even her family can't contact her, is this police trying to get conviction rates up as I'm the innocent party affected, can't go home or see my fiancee and son now they are in protective custody. What do I do?

I have a situation, where a new neighbor has stolen some of my land. It is very simple, it is a straight line registered since 1984 . the new man tried to buy it from me, I wouldnt sell it he then just took it , when I was in hospital for 5 months. I started a County Court. He then wrote to me and said , it would be better if I just gave it to him.

Hello, I really need help and advice. My case went to court in September 2012. I was advised not to attend court when sentencing on my then ex. This year I have in my possession the Regina from that day and there are so many untruths it is almost jokeable. The man in question was sentenced to 5 yrs 9 months. I feel like I have been used and abused by the system to wrongfully convict a man of a longer sentence than he deserved or should have been sentenced to if the evidence was truthful and correct. But it wasn't. Please advise to what I can do now. Thanks Kirsty from Northampton

I was pulled over by police in Bradford. They confused me with someone else and wanted to arrest me. After they realised they have the wrong guy they decided to give me and my friend who was following me in his car 6 points and 400 fine for a MW10 code. At the time I argued with them, they really didn't like it, became unprofessional and so on. Because I was stupid and didn't know the rules and the law I signed that paper in order for the matter to go court because I know I didn't commit the offence and they can't prove it as it didn't happen. To my surprise after sending the court papers back for the hearing, I was found guilty for my absence even tho I sent the plead not guilty by post. They said it never arrived. I asked for the case to be re-opened and told them I need the case dealt with before June (this was January) as I was leaving the UK. I attended the court, explained what happened and that I'll be leaving the UK for a few months and wanted to get this done with because I'm not paying a fine for something I didn't do. At the hearing even tho they already knew, I reminded them again, they told me to come back in July because thats when the officer who issued the fine can attend court. For me to attend court for one day it would have cost me at least 600 for the flights and accomodation. So before I left the UK I've sent again another latter explaining my situation. Nothing... still found guilty for not turning up, 3 points and 1060 fine...

I've been trying to make the payments monthly while I was away. But last month I returned to UK as my plans didn't work out and missed a payment of 84 by 5 days... I did some work for someone and they paid me late... I did make the payment but the same day I received a warrant of control from bailiffs and stuff. I asked this guy I used to go to university with if I could borrow some money off him to pay off the fine and pay him back montly with interest.

I've managed to pay the fine today and want to speak to the court about re-opening the case because there is no evidence of me commiting the offence... its just a police officer who didn't like my tone of voice and I have complained about him to the IPCC who said they had a word with him but all he got was a slap on the wrist. What chances do I have?

In February I reported an incident to the police that they initially said they were looking at assault on my daughter and public order on me. Unbeknown to us at the time, the offender's girlfriend made a counter allegation against my daughter. The matter was minimally investigated by two Civilian investigators (PSI's) and no charges were brought. The offender and his girlfriend then commenced a harassment campaign against my daughter that lasted for several months. In mid June, my daughter asked local police if they could help. In 28 June they gave "words of advice" to the offender. The next day he committed an offence for which he is charged under Section 4a public order act.
On 3 November, he pleaded not guilty and is to go to trial on 8 January. The prosecutor told my daughter that regardless of whether or not charges were being brought, the police should have statemented her after the 11 February incident and, because they didn't, he cannot use the 11 February incident when the 29 June offence goes to trial - thus if found guilty, all his offences will not be taken into account.
Is it reasonable for us/her to make a complaint about this to the police?
Thanks in advance for any help in this matter

I have just been to court and I think mt solicitor didnt fully persue the case

the whitness lied in front of the court saying that she never got agressive with me and never hit me ...but then stated she did on two occasions ...wouldnt that make it lying whilst under oath ..also a clear lie of what was ment to of happend as in it didnt add up to statement in places .....
I also had video evidence and pictures of attacks on myself but they didnt accept these as they said the evidence is to late ....but it clearly shows violence towards my self .....yet

I have been charged and found guilty for apparently attacking the victim ...who only had images of restraint marks .....claimed to have all marks in itermit areas and no evidence but said a friend checked I am sotterrified of going to prison .... ???????? ....

This should not affect your court order arrangement unless the father of your most recent child has been living with you and he can prove it. If your ex has stopped maintenance because of it, you may need to take this issue back to court to have the order enforced.
Raggydoll 27/10/2015 at 10:48 am
I have a consent order that stated If I remarry or live with someone for 6 months or more, the I am responsible for half the mortgage. I have not done that. I have never had anyone live at my address. I did however have a child. My ex is now refusing to pay the child maintenance costs set out in the order for the 2 children we had and says reason is I have broken consent order by having a child that lives with me full time. Is he correct ? I did not think he could stop paying for the children he is ordered for. Thank you.

Hello,
I am on bail by a Scottish sheriff for drinks driving reading 33,7. I attended for sentence and due to back log there wasn't a solicitor available, therefore I was allowed out on bail by the sheriff, the conditions are curfew from 7pm to 7am and no alcohol. These conditions are ridiculous as we live 10 miles up a hill from anywhere and I do not go out I the evening whatsoever, most concerning me is the police have been round twice approximately 11pm, we have all been asleep, but they have been knocking on my sons bedroom window as he sleeps with a night light, also they have knocked on 4 neighbours doors looking for our house which is remote, living in a small tight community where everyone knows everyone, my son is now scared to get on the rural bus to school due to gossip. I am the guilty party so why punish my innocent children. Is there anyway I can arrange a meet point or do anything to stop them upsetting my children please?? Thsnks

My son got attacked in his flat, 2 men broke in his flat with a crow bar when he was asleep and attacked him in his bed, he has suffered a broken jaw in 2 places and had to have surgery and plates on his jaw, a cut to the head and face and marks to his legs, he looks a right state. this happened early morning on friday the 2nd of october, the police came to the hospital to take his statement at 11.30 am. the lady in the downstairs flat who found my son after she heard the 2 men leaving said it was like a murder scene as the blood was all over the wall and bed. she is witness to this as she said she wont forget those mens faces. My problem is that my son is back in his flat and is terrified because it is now the 7th october and the police have done nothing, my wife rung the cid who took the statements and they have done nothing even though my son gave them names of people who know these people but now he has found out who they are. Why is nothing being done.
CourtroomAdvice Editor 06/10/2015 at 11:00 am
Regardless of whether your wife was guilty or innocent, there are standard repercussions for failing to give a speciman for analysis. These can include 3-11 penalty points (to remain on the driver's licence for 11 years), a 12-36 month driving disqualification, a £5,000 fine, or six months imprisonment. Therefore, I'm afraid you would have to seek legal advice in order to get the best guidance regarding this matter.
Jarec 05/10/2015 at 11:20 am
My wife was involved in a single vehicle RTC where she hit Armco on a bend. She was taken to hospital where she was asked by Police to provide a specimen which she refused to do - for goodness knows what reason. She was concussed, 15 months previously had a stroke and had to retire from work early because of the stroke and a bullying manager. 5 months on from the RTC, she received a postal summons and a week later, appeared in court. She has never committed an offence in her 50+ year life, has served the community as a nurse since 16, has, of her own volition, undertaken an in-house 28 day re-hab for alcohol post RTC and cares for her mom who has end stage Alzheimer's. She pleaded guilty and magistrates sentence was 48 month ban and immediate custodial sentence for 12 weeks. An immediate appeal was lodged, heard 6 days later and appeal upheld and she was released immediately and her ban reduced..What recourse do we have for damages, unfair imprisonment, our costs for our Crown Court barrister etc as the Crown Court judge was not pleased about her sentence to say the least.
The Magistrates Court have also allegedly given the local paper incorrect information and the paper have reported the matter as Drink Driving which is NOT the charge and is libelous.

I have a 17 year old son that a boy on the school bus accused him of hitting him with a piece of paper. My son was walking home from school and this boys Mom followed,harrased, threatened, and cussed my son for two days,both days an officer was involved. On the second day while the officer was trying to talk to her,she was screaming at him,cussing other children, and acting histarical,this lady's father walked from two houses down and hit my son in front of the officer. The officer only charged them with disorderly conduct and got upset with me when I told them I wanted to press charges. The next day I saw this lady at the local store and not knowing her name or anything about her,I asked who drove the vehicle sitting out front,when she said she did,I asked why was she cussing my son. I never once cussed or threatened her but she went to the same officer and he issued warrents on both my son and I, mine for stalking and his for simple battery, these are completely false. On arraignment day,both her and her dad came to court to see how we pleaded and were laughing and nodding their heads at us,still pushing this issue. What steps can I take to make civil suit?
CourtroomAdvice Editor 24/09/2015 at 10:40 am
While the judge or jury may not be convinced that your ex is innocent, they may have had insufficient evidence to the contrary. Therefore, a not guilty verdict normally ends the case. The prosecution can only appeal if there was a flaw in the procedeedings, or if new evidence comes to light.
Sarah1987 23/09/2015 at 2:13 am
Hi. My ex husband was yesterday found not guilty of assault by beating by putting his hands round my throat. I really don't understand how. It was an incident that took place in a car and to do with keys being removed from the ignition as the reason for a not guilty verdict. There could be actual evidence he did do it and has lied as the aa had to be called to start his car as he threw his keys in temper so him saying the keys were still in the ignition is an absolute whole heated lie. I'm now not fighting for me but knowing 100% he did it and that he's has got away with it is so wrong and makes you scared how many people are wrongly getting off.can I appeal?

I was charged about a year ago following an interview at a police station under caution the matter related to Inland Revenue issues. The file was sent to the CPS and they raised a charge against me and this charge is a joint charge with what was at the time my companies accountant. I was shocked to find in the un-submitted evidence to the CPS from the police, there is a statement which very clearly shows that as a client i had no knowledge of this action which raised the charge and indeed it was a clerical error from the accountancy practice. Who do I complain to the Police or the CPS ..? .

I need advice:
I filed my Divorce petition, myself, on November 2010. By then I had already been separated from my husband for 19 years, and I didn't have any contact address or contact with him or anyone of his environment, at all.

The divorce is very simple as there are no children involved, and no financial matters either.

On my divorce petition I applied for a “dispensation of service”, and I was advised by letter to do a search of Decree Absolute Central Index, which I did; and to do a search of Department for Work & Pensions, and/or National Health Service central Register, for this I filled Form D404 as it was requested.

Since then I have been asking in numerous occasions for an answer and information about the state of my divorce petition, and I was always given answers that were excuses for the lack of progress on my case, but nothing was resolved. The excuses I received were of the kind: “the judge in charge of your case retired”, “your papers got misplaced” , “ you need to send us proof of the search requested, again”, “ sorry, we admit there is no excuse for such delay and will reply to you shortly” or “ divorce manager is on holiday”, etc…

Now nearly 5 years later, and unable to get an answer to my emails or my visits to Magistrate offices, I feel I need to place a formal complaint, but I am not sure how or what I should do.

I would be really grateful if you could give me some light on this.

this morning I was accused of shoplifting while browsing inside a local supermarket.
I wasn't asked to empty my pockets never did I attempt to leave the store with item(s) I had not paid for.
I was simply confronted by this Asian man who accused me of shoplifting.
when asked him to provide evidence
he responded saying that he didn't need any proof and continued saying that I had been seen shoplifting and was therefore required to leave the store and never come back.
I was absolutely stunned and I was literally trembling out of sheer shock and disbelief that this man could suddenly stand in front of me and accuse me of shoplifting.
I have been going to this supermarket to purchase food for over 10 years and I can honestly say that I have never ever taken anything from that supermarket and left without paying.
surely this man who made the accusation is legally obliged to provide proof that his accusation is credible?
I entered the shop with exactly £1.50 in coins and I also had my debit card in my pocket
and I left with my money and my debit card and nothing else.
if I had taken something, and put it in my pocket and I was spotted by a security guard and it was recorded on videotape,
then and only then would this man be able to accuse me of shoplifting?
I would bet my life that no such evidence exists because I know for an absolute fact that I did not steal anything.
and even if he tried to say that I had been spotted stealing before
then it is only right that I ask him why I was not challenged by him or a security guard?
again I state that I have been a longtime customer who has been honest and loyal.
I even have receipts going back to 2007 as evidence of my loyalty.
and so to be confronted with what I am utterly convinced are totally false accusations,
I am left feeling extremely hurt, extremely offended, with a strong sense of injustice and gross disrespect on the part of this man who works for this particular supermarket.
Earlier I typed in the name of this supermarket alongside false accusations and I wasn't surprised to find that this supermarket has a long history of accusing their customers of theft and dishonesty.
I even came across one incident in which a boy was accused by this supermarket of stealing a packet of crisps.
the family of this boy took their case to court and thankfully they won.
when I phoned customer services to put in my complaint this morning
I was saddened by the bog standard response...i.e...I'm very sorry to hear about this blah blah blah.
ending with telling me that I will be contacted within 7-10 days.
I'll be very very very surprised if the response results in a personal apology and admittance of gross misconduct on the part of the man who made the false allegations against me.
after all if evidence can be found online to show that this sort of incident is common place,
then that clearly shows that the top managers are not asserting their authority and reminding their staff about

Hi, I managed to have the thug who assaulted me charged and brought to trial. The assault was admitted. I corroborated the assault. Yet, the verdict was not guilty. I asked why and the Fiscal told me it was because the magistrates said they weren't convinced an assault had happened. As admitted, corroborated assault was not an assault. This is utter madness. I want to request for an investigation into the verdict. There's just no excuse for this injustice. I'm about to go on trial on counter charges for a prior assault and one of the idiots who reached the decision was at the intermediate diet. There is no way I should be forced to go on trial before an incompetent idiot. What action I can I take to get an investigation and have a trial with someone else? It's in Scotland. If no-one can help directly, contact details of some one who can would be appreciated. Thanks.

Can the police make these comments?
The allegations are completely false, they are trying to get me sacked so I can't afford my solicitor
Carlos 20/08/2015 at 5:13 pm
I have been falsely accused of two alleged crimes: 1. Historic Sexual Abuse/Rape against a (then) child, going back to between 1997 - 2008. 2. Harassment of a 'Victim' in relation to the above matter.

Suffice to say I am innocent. By coincidence..... this all happened in a Family Law matter AFTER I had filed with the Court for s.8 Children Act 1989 Order(s).

The Police have been 'investigating' the former for 4 months now; I was NOT arrested, but attended voluntarily, albeit under caution. I have NOT been charged.

The Police have been 'investigating' the latter for 6 weeks. I was Bailed under Police Bail; I was NOT charged. They keep 'varying' the Bail - which effectively keeps me in a 'holding' pattern.

All 'official' Govt, Police and CPS advice is geared only to supporting alleged 'victims'. The 'accused' can apparently be left in limbo?

I have my next Family Law Hearing on 04 September 2015. With these allegations held over me without movement or resolution I am most unlikely to get a reasonable Hearing from the Court.

Can I somehow 'force...' the Police/CPS to 'put up or shut up', i.e. Charge me and take it to Court, or drop the case(s)???

I am going quietly mental.....

Iv recently been on jury service and whilst in the deliberately process I feel other jurors gave pleas on the biases of there being a very influential individual amongst the groupe, also some on gut instincts and what they think instead of actual fact/evidence... Another gave a plea purely based on the fact this person was bored of sitting in a room deliberating and wanted to ensure they wouldn't be back the next day doing the same thing.. When another person was ask why they have chosen a guilty ple instead of not guilty the response was "I don't know really" all of which make an absolute joke of our just system and it's clearly not done fairly in this case.. Is there anyone here that would be able to give advise on who to talk to about these issue I realise I should have said something at the time but if I'm honest I was outranged and gob-smack.. Any help of advise I will be very greatfull of.

I have got ongoing employment tribunal. Every solicitor I had had damaged my case missed the deadline and drop me last minute. We went to the court hearing and the other side barrister tap my solicitor on the shoulder got him in another room suddenly he decided not to fight my case and disappeared during the brake telling me he is going to his office. But I got suspicious as the other side barrister was following me wherever I went I decided to call his office twice bit no one has seen him coming to his office. When he came back to the court as it was just few minutes away I have ask him where was he? He lied to me that he was in his office so I told him that is not true as I called the office and they haven't seen him. Then he ask me not to come in the court to hear the judgement which I refused. Judge has decided to struck my case out as she said she doesn't understand my case which I didn't believe her something dodgy was going on. I have decided to investigate and it come to my attention that the same judge has been stracking out so many other cases of people who use to work for the same company as I was.

Than my solicitor told me he will let me know when we get the judgement and than we will appeal the decision as we had 42 days. He did not send me the judgement instead he wasted 25 days before he drop my case suddenly.

I went to appeal court my self when I found out that the previous judge did not consider all the evidence but she struck my case out. It is clear MISCARRIAGE OF JUSTICE. The judge refused to overture the decision. At the appeal court the case worker was constantly blocking my case.My local MP got me a solicitor just before the hearing which again suddenly drop my case. I have been again refused the full judgement. Now I have submitted my case to the appeal civil court since February I haven't heard from them. I have emailed them 4 weeks ago still nothing.

So far so many of us have lost our cases as the Unions are not doing the jobs my union was threatening me and following me around the building if I dear take this case further. He also made sure that I was not represented by union legal team it took me 3 years to get the report from them. When we got the report it didn't match the evidence. It was deliberately sabotaged. He also refused to send me my full file but what he didn't know I had a copy. Many of my colleges files have disappeared when they went to see the solicitors so they couldn't take the matter further and there is no evidence of case ever existing.

The system is corrupt and employers with money and power are winning the cases by strucking it out. It is a big scandal which needs to be look into and the judges and solicitors who are involved in this kind of corruption needs to be severely punished.

I was unfairly taken by the police as I could not appear at the Cape town Court on which I have called and e-mailed them telling them why I could not come in to court , I was so embarrassed when the police came to fetch me at work due to the lady not leaving a note the day I called as to why I could not come in , and I also e-mailed the court
moe 24/07/2015 at 11:32 am
I was issued with a warrant of address by the Court here at Borax centre , I was unable to attend on the day however I had called in and the lady told me she was unable to write a message explaining why I could not appear so I e-mailed them , to my surprise the Police embarrass me by coming to pick me up at work I am so disgusted at the poor court service and mannenburg police.

Two stitch-ups. First, claim against me, disputed, with photocopied receipts, no signatures, abut a quarter of them blank sheets. Despite this and evidence at least one of the bills had been paid (the claimant's filing was a mess to his advantage) I couldn't prove to the judge that the bill had been paid.
Bailiff wasted time, couldn't contact him until the deadline had passed, visit, £500 extra.
Complained about the judge, apparently judge was above the law, couldn't prove I didn't owe the money so I did.
Complained about the Bailiff, send complaint to court twice, complaint lost, twice. Intercepted. I once had faith in the law, not now.
The legal system is corrupt.

Any response would be welcome, even a, 'no' not interested in representing you.

Please can you advise me or direct me to solicitor willing to fight injustice and police brutality.

i was arrested for going equipped (non vehicle) and shoplifting (theft) I refute these allegations. I have written this exact message to solictors in the top500 but no reply.

I had some products in a shop bag on me and some other products in my car, all legally paid for and owned by me.


I was shopping in a big brand shop, as I exited I entered my car, my door was being pulled, I thought I was being robbed so I handed over my bag, two men came over forced my door open, they asked me to come inside the shop, I declined as I had done nothing wrong and needed to be somewhere, I also told them this at which point they told me that ' you are not going nowhere' I was scared. I told them that I need to go, I slowly made my way away from the shop, I told them if they believe I had done something wrong to, 'call the police'.

They continued a verbal attack. One of the men held my shoulder, I did not offer any resistance, but calmly told them that they are making a mistake, i have committed no wrongdoing. The second man grabbed me by the neck in a headlock, all the time I was pleading my innocence and non consent to this assault and detention. They continued a tirade of verbal abuse and coordinated their next attack on me, which i overheard them say they were to bring me down, I was viciously slung to the floor, even the manager of the shop said to the thugs thats enough let him go, we have his car number plate and description the female member of staff also said thats enough leave it! there was a huge crowd of on lookers.

All this time I had not resisted their assault even in self defense as I feared the attack could end up fatality going by their verbal abuse and threats. On the floor one of the assailants spat on my head which landed on my ear, one of them folded my arm behind me and the other had his foot over the back of my neck, I screamed that that it is hurting me please stop but I felt more pressure every time I did, All through out this ordeal I never tried to offer any resistance I was compliant. they stood me up at which point i was delirious i could make out the a police man who said he was alerted by the huge crowd and noisy commotion he said he was having a coffee, he handcuffed me back stack then took me into the back office searched me then handcuffed me front stack the temperature in the room was extremely high.

I was suffering from my injuries from the attack and overheating, i requested water as i felt faint I was refused 5 times, i was in the room for over 1 hour, the officer changed my handcuffs to back stack and did them even more tighter than he had done before too excessively tight he also bent my arm to inflict more pain, when at custody i complained to the custody sergeant, the police doctor, the finger print taker abo

ello, I'm a 16 year old male and a police report was sent to my home saying something along the lines of "your son was reported for causing trouble in a specific suburb". I do not recall of causing trouble in this area, or being pulled up by police, at all. I'm just curious on how the police knew my address and identity, when I recall nothing? Even if I did do something, how did they know who I was If I didn't get pulled up by police? I'm really confused. I'm thinking that someone that might 'dislike' me or someone immature called the police as a prank and reported me for causing amok. Is this possible to happen? Because if it is, I would expect police to ask me for my side of the story before sending a mail to my home.

I am a War Veteren with a 40% disability along with stress anxiety and depression.

I was dragged off my moving push bike by a security guard and beaten up because I was cycling where cycling was prohibited. The whole incident was captured in splended High Definition CCTV. Despite this the police will not charge or caution him with any offence.

I am on strong pain killers as a result and attended phsio therapy.

I have exhausted all Met Police Complaints Procedures.

What I want to know now is can I take legal action against the Met Police for causing me aggravated Stress, Anxiety & Depression by failing to charge the security guard despite the evidence.

Hello, briefly i was attacked and assaulted by a work colleague (broken nose ,black eyes etc)i never threw a punch or acted in a threatening manner-
he eventually admitted guilt (with the aid of a cctv recording).
He has a history of violence and a criminal record for it -
The police and courts we're fantastic but i was disappointed by the ruling of a community service order and 12 months probation-i was expecting a custodial sentence frankly

Hi I was in court last week to do with a accelerated eviction order. I put my defence documents in proving in black and white that the landlord has prevented me from leaving and the major disrepair. I sought legal advice saying I would get the six weeks due to my girlfriend just having a child 3weeks ago and suffering from postnatal depression. The judge asked the landlord how long he wants us there he said 1 week then judge ordered it for us to be out in one week. He wouldn't let us put are case forward. Every time I spoke he told me to "shut up" when I said but were going to be homeless with 2kids and 4week baby he said " not my problem and I don't care" nobody willing to listen to us or are case. I feel the whole things biased.
Innocent 30/06/2015 at 9:49 am
Hi,

I have recently got convicted of affray and I didn't commit one. Long story short my parents stitched me up then tried withdrawing their statement and never turned up to court so they got me on what I said in my police interview admitting threats. I never threatened anyone, just a piece of furniture and my parents even stated that no one was threatened.

When I got a phone call to go into the police station I attended within 30mins. Having never been in trouble before I asked the officer what do I do with regards to a solicitor and how does it all work explaining my family background. His words were a solicitor isn't really gunna help you but if you just admit what you've done, you'll get a slap on the wrist and be out in a couple of hours.

Now from my point of view I now have a record and my teaching career foremost and most jobs are out of the window. And I'm adamant I didn't commit an affray and being convicted based on an interview is crazy becos I was worried and asked an officer what I'm best doing becos I should have been able to trust him. Being told afterwards that if I had a solicitor and my parents still withdrew their statement I would have walked away and not been in trouble.

I am appealling the conviction so all my past history and family life can be brought to light so the court can understand why the situation happened and that I just made a silly threat due to circumstances that are very personal. Can I report the officer who has basically made me shoot myself in the foot cos my parents are truly sorry for starting this and want a family relationship but I have a conviction and restraining order and they know the circumstances at the time led to to heated argument we had.

Thanks,

Alex

Have won my civil case against a company for selling a faulty used car. The Company were refused permission to appeal. They have managed to gain 2 stays of enforcement but I have had them overturned and the writ enforced. They have since been back to court and did not post us notice in time so we could attend and have managed to gain an appeal.
On further Investigation it appears the first case we had heard was in fact in the wrong court so we were given a new court and date.What I wanted to know is how can they gain an appeal using directions from the first judge in the wrong court that was scrubbed and reheard at the right court. Where were awarded the case and costs as we should because they mis sold the car with out an MOT they claimed it had and it broke down on the journey home Surely if the wrong court and judge heard the case then any directions he gave should be unenforceable and not be relevant in any appeal hearing. The judge who is lined up for the appeal is the first judge who heard the case when he shouldnt can I object to this

CourtroomAdvice Editor 22/05/2015 at 1:52 pm
@ni - Under s.19 of the Police and Criminal Evidence Act 1984, when the Police investigate criminal offences they have powers to seize property they believe is relevant to any investigation. This property is usually kept until it is no longer needed for the investigation, after which a notice for collection is sent to you. You would need to speak to the officer in charge of the case to ask if you can have your property returned. You haven't said what your solicitor has advised - it may be worth you talking with him/her also. I hope this helps.

Police came to my home with guns and took computers phones software license keys etc. Things I need for my work. I haven't been charged of any crime and I have essentially lost my job and thousands of pounds worth of equipment. I wasn't allowed my children because the search.

Solicitor informed me this is legal. I'm afraid to complain as I clearly have no power in this situation and don't want more trouble.

I was drug into a case ...This case is held in Forsyth County/ My daughter and son in law .custody case / My son in law has a powerful name in this town and his parents have a lot of money un -like me I am on disability. My son in law has been on drugs most of his life he always get off scot.free His Dad used his name and money to keep him from prison
.Maybe do a little time in the local jail and a slap on the wrist and out to do as he pleases. He should have done time in prison. But always some how got out of going due to family name and knowing everyone in this town. Never the less his wife my daughter get in trouble one time first offence and gets her kids taken away form her and then when she does see them it is supervised visits only . while her husband at the time can see them any time he wants . with no supervised visits he can even let the girls stay the night with him and his new girl/friend . His mother has temp. custody of the minor children ages 10 and 4 both girls .. ok here is where it gets un-just . my daughter was court ordered to go to rehab for 6 mths. ok she goes into a place that is like a cult . no music no tv no phone no seeing her boyfriend ( because they said he was a user) well daaah so was her husband . anyway;; me as her mother went to get her for Christmas for a home visit ... she is 32 yrs . old i could not watch her 24 - 7. she used my phone she watched a movie she even listen to music. she even saw her boyfriend now these was the rehab rules.... Not court ordered rules .... beings she was in my care I was the one punished so the rehab she was in ask me if all this took place I did not lie. iI said yes there for my rights as a her parent was taken away. she had no one to go see her but me....... so i contacted another rehab the director called ask if it was approved they said yes so when the director contacted my daughter if she wanted to switch rehab she said yes .. they told me to come get her . After court the rehab was all of a sudden not approved so she went on a waiting list. after 5 mth she was excepted in another rehab she has been there 30 days ., but the judge ordered that i must have supervised rights to see my grand kids i see them once a week for 2 hours . they don't understand and neither do I ... I do not take illegal drugs nor have I ever put the kids lives in danger ... And my daughter has passed every drug test since July 2014 . but still has supervised visits I have never done anything except try get her to follow the rules but could not she is 32 yrs. old . I was not on trial but got my rights taken away I am not a party to the case so I can not speak for myself to get my rights back I feel the justice system protects the guilty and punishes the innocent that is my complaint . And now they say i need an attorney to make a motion to intervene ..... I am on disability and can not afford an attorney .. so you tell me am I being wrong? For feeling that i was treated un-just

Hi
On the 3/2/2015 an enforcements notice was issued stating the enforcements notice was issued because I have not paid money £1.269 I owe. The enforcements details state I used a T.V without a licence on the 22/10/2009.

On the 22/10/2009 I was living in temporary accommodation and on the 12/11/2009 I moved into a woman's refuge which means that I would not be reasonable for a T.V Licence.

I sent Marston Bailiff's a letter explaining this in February 2015 but on the 16/6/2015 a REMOVALS NOTICE was posted through my door saying despite previous visits and notices this matter has not been settled but now stating I owe £1.579

I have now found that in total there have been 2 hearing one for no TV Licence and no car tax in 2008 and one for no car tax in 2009. The summons's were sent to an address I wasn't living at and the case's were heard in my absence.

If I had been able to attend court I could prove that I wasn't living at the address at the time they thought I was.

Can I take legal action against the court as they deemed the summons's served which lead to finding me guilty of everything it has now escalated to bailiff's saying they can get lock smiths to get in my house and take property to pay the fine.

Thanks

I work as cab driver and was out of the country for three months when arrived found lots od court proceedings documents including conviction of solicitating as tout. Fannily I have been convicted in my absence and banned from driving and fined more than 1.5k. I have been convicted of driving without insurance and operating without a mini cab licence that has resulted in my ban. I had a licence and insurance I believe the whole trial was shumble when I looked at the first documents requesting me to state my earning. What a justice system. Transport for London are out on sting operation on genuine licenced drivers leaving out real touts due to competiiton from black taxi drivers.

My girls 17 and 16 went to an under 18 nightclub event, were bullied out the club early then followed by the hole club which was black , then about 150 black teenagers spectated while 10 girls on each of my girls , they dragged one by her hair and kicked and punched repeatedly , other girl had her face stamped on broke her nose damaged ear drum, stole other girls 500 phone smashed it up and blatantly advertised it on fb, my girls are distraught scared to be alone , they were threatened not to call police by these scum! of course the police were called and was and is a complete joke , first they forget to text me the crime number! Then they forgot to come and get statements at eleven next morning as they arranged with me! So I ring them at two clock this is all next day so they send to officers to take statements to which was instantly made to feel like we're the crimanals!! Then I tell them I got pic of her phone from someone showing what's on fb expecting them to go make inquiries and visit these people ( if was me had someone's phone they would come arrested me that day) I was told they don't want to know that right now ??? I asked why as the phone will be long gone in days didn't want it back but could lead to the scum that did this ! But no all they wanted was facts , we found the girls on the going list of this event and told them facts of girls we knew were involved they wouldn't take them ! Then one officer said it's fifty fifty catching them! And other officer said be less than that as wasn't gbh was common assault!!!! They left us feeling very down and vulnerable and almost like we were in wrong reporting them! So have put the attack in papers. The police are telling me cctv probably won't show anything well funny they picked enough out of them riots ! And we know there Is more than enough cameras , how can they say all of this a percentage on catching them that cameras won't be any use on the day after it happened they hadn't even collected cctv , the club are holding out for police to get cctv probably till it rolls over!

The police have visited us several times recently...it seems our address has been used by a bogus company. The guy that set up the company lives in our street and is a known criminal who spends more time in than out of jail. We are hard working decent honest people and very angry/upset that the police now know it was him but are constantly visiting us and have told us we MUST give a signed statement to prove we are not connected to the bogus company. We told them that on Google and in the local papers the company does have the guys address and we showed them this as proof but to no avail! Is it law that we have to give a statement as this seems very unfair when we have done nothing wrong? They have more need to get the guy and charge him with fraud for using our address!
CourtroomAdvice Editor 13/04/2015 at 2:05 pm
@val - Twelve 999 calls in one month is a lot, it equates to three per week to a service that is already burdened. It sounds like you have been fined for theoretically making 'hoax' calls. A hoax 999 call is when a person deliberately calls the emergency services, including the fire, police and ambulance to falsely inform them that there is an emergency when in fact there is not. Before you call, you may want to stop and think whether what you are ringing up about can be classified as an 'emergency'. If your life being threatened, that is an emergency. Anti-social behaviour which is no direct threat or injurious to you is not. I assume you have listed the most severe of the crimes in your comment and from these it sounds like the problems you have been experiencing should have been directed at 101, Please be aware in the future that it is a criminal offence to make a hoax call under UK law, as it ties up the 999 lines and diverts the emergency services away from people who really need it. Depending upon the seriousness of the calls, you may find that you just get a warning. However, please also keep in mind that you may face heavy fines and a criminal record if you were to continue. I hope this helps.

I have made twelve 999 calls in one month reporting various incidents, most anti social behaviour of my neighbours in cars after 11.30 pm The last time I rang 999 was four night ago at 4 am to report people fighting outside my house. Luckily for me someone else had also rang the police regarding this matter. Two constables turned up at my house four nights later, telling me I have to pay £90 for a penalty notice for making too many 999 calls. I refused to sign anything and they said I would get a summons to go to court. The next evening someone, I assume it was police put a Penalty Charge Notice through my door, without knocking, telling giving me details of how to pay this charge. Please can someone advise me who I can contact for help.

@wrongful search - The Police and Criminal Evidence Act 1984 covers the protocol of searching a premesis. The police force has the power to enter a premises and conduct a search with a view to either making an arrest or seizing items where it thinks a crime has been committed. You can read more about what rights the police has whichI hope this helps.

My mum & Dads house was raided by the police they had a warrant stating to look for controlled drugs, drug paraphernalia sim cards phones and anything that could possibly show evidance of supplying drugs, now they did find cannabis plants growing and seized them and lots of equipment, but at alot of which was not being used for growing, I was charged with cultivation, but while I was taken into custody the police found a key that was the neighbours house key, they asked my dad why he had it and he said because they only stay there 6 months of the year and my dad would mow there lawn etc, they then took the key and went and opened there front door and searched there house, even taking the time to get a step ladder to look in there loft. On the warrant they showed us there was no mention that they could seach there house too and no consent was given by the neighbours infact they are still away and still unaware of this. I phoned the officer in charge of the case and asked him for a search record of there house he said that no one had entered that house, but I guess one of his constables said that they did obviously while he was taking me into custody and so was unaware himself. So when I asked agian for a search record they said its non of my buisness but I dont know now if they seized anything from there house and if so what things were seized, so now I dont know which house each item confiscated came from. So I'm hoping if you could share any advice for me. I have a search record for my address and for my dads car where nothing was seized from the car, and just a very brief vague list of articles seized from house under an a) it says canabis plants, herbal canabis and drug parafhrenalia, and then under a b) electrical goods. I,ve also only just realised that they took some credit card statements from the kitchen which neither my mum dad or me were aware of, also the postman delivered a parcel addressed to my dad was delivered while they were still conducting there search and they had my dad open the parcel and seized that too. Like I say any advice would be very helpful. I feel that surely the police have made a mistake or done something wrong, like I said when I spoke on the phone to the officer in charge even he didnt know they had entered the neighbours house and to an extent the got a step ladder so they could get into there loft, and they cant produce a copy of the search record either? I hope to hear from anyone soon as its really effecting my mental health right now which ive had problems with for years and im finding this whole thing really difficult to deal with.

If in an Appeal Court the procurator fiscal, a Q.C. , supplies the Court several times with false information and has to apologise on one occasion for doing so ,can the person who is appealing a previous Court decision take any action against this Q.C.in regard to the misinformation he is presenting to the Appeal Court or are they excempt from any such action ?

cot3 agreement. I have a cot3 agreement against my former employer. he failed to pay so acas said to get it inforced. We did that and the bailiffs recovered the money. whoever he went back to court and said that no agreement was in place and the judge struck the case out, due to us not knowing about this case as the court documents were sent to the bailiffs who failed to pass this information onto us. I know a cot3 is binding even without him signing or sending the paperwork back. BUT now that the case is struck out, can we resubmit the cot3 to the courts to get inforced and ask that they do not pass onto the former bailiffs as they appear not to be trusted

@morrs - it sounds to me that this is not UK law. As we are a UK-based site with knowledge of only UK law, we cannot advise on this I'm afraid.
Pam Editor 17/03/2015 at 1:49 pm
@Carley - yes, if you feel that you were dealt with unfairly and the case failed because of you being persuaded to drop your charges, then you can complain and should.
Carley 14/03/2015 at 3:16 pm

strangers and then letting the perpetrator walk away a free man. With no regard to his victims (that are still struggling- requiring counselling for self harming and suicidal thoughts).
I'm utterly disgusted in our system for allowing a pedophile to walk free, putting other children at risk because the system is not designed for this kind of case.
I'm now left wondering what I can do to rectify this? I am also now being taken to family court by HIM (the pedophile) to allow him access to my other two children (which we had together) and there is nothing I can do about it as he was found NOT GUILTY. Any help or advice would be much appreciated. Thank you

I'm not sure if I have a case to puse but Ive been left feeling let down by out justice system.
My husband had been abusing my two eldest daughters, to which they did not disclose until February 2014 (when they were 14 and 13). The abuse had started when my eldest daughter was 10years old (they were not his biological children but he had raised them since they were 1y and 2y). I confronted him on the they day the girls disclosed to me and he physically attacked me. The police were called, he was arrested and then released on bail. We waited over 5 months for him to be charged and a trial date was set for February 2015. He was charged with 9 accounts of child abuse including attempted rape on my daughter and he was also charged with common assault on me. When the trail started the judge wanted to dropped the charge on me as she felt she didn't want the jury to be distracted from the child abuse charges.
The trail lasted over 5 days, he was then found not guilty on all charges! I have no explanation as to why, but in my opinion it was not a fair trial:
- The jury have had no training on child abuse, it's effects or how it manifests it's self in children, or how children's evidence is different from adults. Asking the jury (a bunch of random people) to make a judgement on things they know nothing about, this is not right.
- My children were cross examined in front of the whole court about explicit details of the abuse (which we were told would not happen- they were underprepared) this traumatised my daughter and I feel was just as bad as abusing her all over again, only this time in front of a packed court room.
- His barrister kept pointing out the slight inconsistencies between the children's stories- but these are children and they don't deliver evidence like adults. The jury were given to training on this.
- parts of my evidence was left out. I was told this was because they had dropped the charges relating to the common assault I was not given the opportunity to tell the jury about it. Even though I feel it was relevant to the case.

The opinion from me and my children (THE VICTIMS) were that everything was in his favour, he was allowed in court to hear all the evidence before he took the stand, but none of us were allowed to hear a thing before our evidence. He spent time with his barrister prior to the trail, we had no time with ours.
I believe that a normal jury is not the right forum for making decisions of this nature and that they should be at least provided with training on child abuse prior them sitting on this kind of jury.
The detective who was leading our case said after the verdict, that she believed him to be guilty (she is an expert in child abuse cases) and she is a police officer but her opinion means nothing (compared to 12 strangers???).
We tell our children to speak up, tell the truth and then we let them down by putting them through the most traumatic experience of reliving it in front of strangers an

@KC - you don't say what area you work in, so it is difficult to advise. If it may affect your job directly i.e if you have to work with vulnerable adults or children and the act you pleaded guilty to was violent affray, then the police may contact your employer to inform them of this as they will be acting in your employer's best interests.
KC 13/03/2015 at 8:20 am
I was recently convicted and fined for Section 5(1) Public Order Act 1986. I pleaded guilty reluctantly as I couldn't afford the costs or delays in the judicial system by pleading not guilty and then going to trial. I understand from an employer that I contract my services to have been written to by the Police after the court proceedings had ended. The letter sets out to the employer what I was convicted for in detail based on the persecutions case, which was an exaggerated account of events from the so called victim and now the employer are doubtful they can re-employ me. The Police have not contacted me about this letter or copied it to me and the court made no order that I was being restricted in employment following the courts decision. My concerns are that the Police are acting unfairly or wrongly and putting me in a position where I will continue to be punished for this minor crime after the case was completed in court. I hope to get a copy of the letter later today.

@Siamese - your only real recourse is to appeal if he has been charged.
Siamese 10/03/2015 at 11:58 am
Urgent advice required. Allegation was made to the Police from a 14 year old female, police came to question the alleged perpetrator, whom co operated fully but did not have a lawyer, he offered on several occasions to take his CCTV footage to evidence his whereabouts. Police did not take this, and gave police bail (usually pending further enquiries) when reporting for bail and questioning the police on why this was carrying on for so long when there was nothing held against him only the alleged victim false accusations, the police stated that the CPS are not able to charge, obviously due to no supporting evidence, however two days after the Rotherham failings of services was mad public, the Police charged, a court case was heard by jury service and after the judge informed the jury on two occasions to base their decision/ verdict on evidence that was held in the room only, not on stereo typing nor media, one jury pre verdict left quitter stating he was not happy, and left. The jury passed a guilty verdict. The judge even asked them if they was sure.. There was not one piece of evidence, the alleged victims was inconsistent with dates, having not contacted the alleged perpetrator, and so on which the barrister proved by face book that she had made contact and after being ignored she poked.
This is a classic scapegoat case here and one of which is not inline with the equality and fair trial, I am confident that if it was not for the Rotherham findings this would never have met a charge. This is worrying as it is giving a wrong message for public to use this against males and takes the seriousness from the genuine cases of rape and sexual exploitation. We have sought specialist advice to retrieve CCTV footage but it had been recorded over several times...any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

i once was with a debt management company called first finance,for over a year they took money out of my account to pay creditors and keep them at bay ,for over a year i had threatening letters saying i was in arrears,i had documented proof to show the court all my financial transactions, first finance got harder to get hold of and on the odd occasion i did they told me they were having problems with computers etc where as really they were going under but continued taking money, the judge ignored everything including my entire life of proof paying my way including debts no matter how hard it was and let them slap a £30000 charging order on my home,no wonder people feel like they do, maybe i shouldhave been a dopedealer or dole dosser or someone who just dont care about anything , well lets face it ,they seem to do better than us when it comes to justice,cant remember the judges name but hope he sleeps well tonight knowing hes doing a great job

@Wesley - this is rather a long paragraph and as I see it you are obviously suffering from the after effects of a lot of issues, from child abuse, to the crime you committed and the lack of help you have received when trying to rehabilitate yourself. Yes, you can complain about the treatment in a court of law as specified in the article and the prison service through the Prison and Probation Service Ombudsman (PPO). I have also included a link to various support groups you may be interested in here which may be able to help you try to get your life back on track. You may also want to visit your GP who can give you some direction with regards to counselling etc. I hope this helps.
Wesley 07/03/2015 at 10:26 am
I would like to see if I have valid grounds to make an official complaint against the prison system, court system and the law system in this country. I have had long term mental health illnesses and have had diagnosis from a child due to a survivor of child abuse, foster care. further abuse in care and neglect and violence. In 2004 I was initially arrested for an offence and I denied all charges and it was eventually dropped by west Yorkshire police force. In 2012 I owned up to what I had done ten years prior, a serious sexual assault. I was convicted of attempted rape and served 18 months in prison. However though my mental health issues were not fully made aware in court of law, I was misrepresented by a solicitor and duped into pleading guilty of the criminal offence plus extra charges which I had not done, as I owned up to what I had done because I attempted to kill myself and wanted to rebuild my life and im a practicing Christian this is my faith and I feel that I have been discriminated against my religion in court, by the police force of west Yorkshire police, I tried to talk in court when the judge asked me if their was any thing I wanted to say and the court room guard told me to put my hand down and wouldn't let me speak, I was told to plea guilty to all the solicitor had said otherwise I would have had to serve between 8-10 years in prison instead of the 18 months I served, I was told that I would have to serve at least 5 years initially when I was sentenced on the sex registrar and when I left prison I was told with authority that I had to sigh the document for the sex registrar for life and this is unfair. My probation officer has never offered me any form of prison rehabilitation programmes whilst in prison and now im on license for I and half years she said that I don't need to do any programmes however from day one I said I would comply with any treatment work should it be recommended or advise able. In regards as well to the criminal case I was involved the victim of the crime I committed during the trial met me one time after a court hearing one time with her friend, she also her and her friend emailed me on Facebook regular and was talking to me as to what happen and why it happened and she had forgiven me was her words as the police force didn't believe her initially when she reported the crime all this was not mentioned in court of law, I was treated with huge arrogance and disgust by the police station when they force ably did a strip search on me when I had serious mental health issues and when I had been a victim of child abuse in my childhood. they did not take all this into consideration and caused me great distress when I handed myself into the police and admitted to a criminal offence as I attempted to kill myself and had very real threat suicidal threats and risks to myself and others at the time. I have had prison staff whilst in prison saying you probably don't deserve to be in prison saying im not a risk at al

Prtyinpink 28/02/2015 at 10:43 pm
Grunge Betty, your case is so similar to mine, my alcohlic husband punched me in the face and I lost a tooth, the statement taken by the police omitted some of the things I said, which I realised later, they took a photo that night but by the next afternoon my face black swollen and blue, photos of this were taken along with damage to the property, the first time I went to court I offered the photos and the dental record to the cps and was told" we don't need them", ok , the case wasn't heard on that occasion, due to "lack of time". I then had to wait a further 5 months before going to court again, during this time I was contacted to ask if I was willing to accept a binding over, I said no , I was the victim of long term abuse . by this time "IT" had got a solicitor, on the day of the case the cps person who was supposed to assist me just gave me an expenses form and went off to speak to the other party.He then returned with a second offer of binding over I refused. In court I was subject to severe harsh treatment by its solicitor saying I had punched kicked and stamped on him. They had apparently got a letter from a doctor to say he had. Broken ribs, a pneumothorax and a bloody nose, what a load of lies,I suffer with osteoarthritis and fybromyalgia, and can't even close my fingers punching anybody would be impossible,none of my evidence was submitted,surely anyone with half a brain would have thought that if I had done this and HE had been given a binding over, I would have been thinking I had got away with what I was supposed to have done.the whole system seems to be geared towards helping the person who commits the crime, what about me , I don't know what to do with myself now, I'm scared he might come back, and God knows what might happen, why should I have to live in fear, yes it's all very well saying " call the police" but I shouldn't be in this situation, by the way I'm in my late sixties so not a youngster

Dear Jade
I am so sorry to hear of your appalling experience - especially at your young age. I empathise totally as this happened to me too - I was in my 30s & working in the legal profession but still encountered disgraceful discrimination. Ring "Rights of Women" in London (see also their website) - it's not easy to get through as they are so busy but keep trying as they are fantastic & helpline is staffed by female lawyers. Please also go to your GP & ask for a referral for counselling to deal with the trauma & help for your anorexia - please do that now to stop it getting any worse. Be kind to yourself. You have been a victim of a despicable crime - the bully even tried to blame you - it's what they do - bullies are cowards. Think of yourself now as a survivor - you have your whole precious life in front of you. Don't let him or those incompetent coppers rob you of any more. Get help & support asap. Take care & I wish you peace of mind & a good life ahead. x
CourtroomAdvice Editor 16/02/2015 at 10:47 am
@foggy - You can complain in person, at the court, by telephoning the court, or in writing, by email, by writing a letter or by filling out form EX343A. Once your claim has been received it will be evaluated and a report will be filed. If your complaint is considered to be valid, you will receive an apology and compensation (if you have requested it and it is considered appropriate in the circumstances.) This information and more can be found in one of our partner sites, Making a Complaint About the Small Claims Court, I hope this helps.

I think the courts have messed my case up.
2013 my former employer turned up took his stuff back said he can't pay me and that was it? out of a job with no money from him.
so I went through acas he agreed to pay the outstanding wages. and a agreement was made. I signed the forms and sent back to acas. he never made any attempt to pay. so went online used the form to get the courts to inforce this judgment .
A month later I firm called burlington group sent me a letter to say they have been able to inforce this judgment and after 21 days I will get my money.
After another month I had not heard anything so contacted this burlington group who told me has gone to court the get this judgment set aside. that is the last I have ever heard from them until I emailed them yesterday they sent me a 2 copies from the court stating that the judgment has STRUCK OUT? and that the burlington group had to give him the money back.
on the form from the court sent to me by the burlington group the court had asked for more information and I had to December 2014 to give this information. .
NO ONE and I mean NO ONE has ever contacted on this matter what so ever. not a single letter email or call. We have not moved address at all but surely the courts should have contacted me on this matter.
I emailed Bournemouth and Poole country court's yesterday 12.2.15 to ask what has gone on and why I was never contacted but I get the feeling they will just sweep this under the carpet. We as a family are still playing catch up on our mortgage because he didn't pay me and now looks like we have to find even more money for a solicitor to find out how and what has happened.
anyone got any suggestions.

Thanks

james

@nick - you don't say how long ago this was, and why you didn't follow up with the solicitor yourself to have your name taken off the house when/or if you knew it hadn't happened. Or have you only just discovered this? I think you are going to have to take legal advice on this one, the CAB may be able to help you out. Any instructions to your solicitor or correspondence should help you.
nick 12/02/2015 at 10:59 pm
I filed in court because my wife filed bankruptcy on my house because she couldn't refinance it now the house has set there for 5 years with back taxes on it so I paid the taxes and went back to court to have her Pay me back for failure to up keep the house and pay taxed on it. Thus my credit is ruined and her lawyer never followed threw to get my name off the house. Is this failure on her lawyers to fulfill the divorce rulings. Now the judge must see that her lawyer didn't do his job!

Jade 09/02/2015 at 5:18 pm
I was raped when I was 14 years old (I am now 18 nearly 19) twice by my boyfriend at the time. He told me it was my fault and I believed him. About 4 or 5 months after the attacks took place I couldn't stop thinking that although it was my fault if he got away with doing it to me he might do it to someone else and it wouldn't be their fault. So I went to the police and reported what had happened. I was assigned two officers from TOPAZ, the specialist rape unit at the time. They didn't give me any information or any instructions of what to do expect that they'd get in touch with me when I would do a video interview. Being only 15 years old I didn't fully understand how people or the police work. I believed that if my rapist, told his mother what he'd done then she'd be able to stop him doing it again. I thought this the best option as the police had told me it was a minimum of 4 years, which for something you think is your fault does seem a very long time, now of course I realise that it's not anywhere near long enough but unfortunately at the time I understandably wasn't thinking very clearly. I think it's important to mention at this point, that I received no form or offer of emotional support or counselling for what I'd been through. So my rapist went to the police on a counter charge of harassment (due to texts asking him to tell his mum what he'd done to me) The officer in charge of my case then rang me and instead of consoling me (which should have been her priority since this allegation made by the person who raped, had left me extremely distressed) she outright called me a liar and pretty told me to drop my case. She then following this came to my house in order to confirm whether or not I wanted to continue with the case (something I now know is not procedure and hence just her trying to intimidate me into dropping charges). Unfortunately at 15 years old, with even the police who I had always believed were there to protect us, calling me a liar I felt as though no one believed me and I had no choice but to drop the case. I have since gone back to the police but due to the amount of time that had passed a lot of the evidence I had of the attack, had since been lost. A phone I had with a video of him admitting the attack had been stolen, a laptop with the conversation of when I told my best friend about the first attack the following day had been stolen and all the people who had been witnesses have since forgotten a lot of important details. Now I have been told by the police basically that I will never get justice for what he did to me. I have since suffered from panic attacks, depression and anorexia. I have to live everyday not being able to forget what he did to me, knowing full well that he could do it again to someone else and all because the police called me liar when I needed their help the most. I don't know what to do now but I know I need to do something. Please help me.

The Cps have charged me and my girlfriend with section18 assault and affray on the words of already convicted 22 counts of perverting course of justice and knife crimes on his record. He came to me house travelling over 10miles armed with a knife to try and rob me. I already told the i.p not to come back to my house again the day before and the day after he came with a knife demanding cash and valium to which i take due to anxiety i suffer with. I defended myself due to fear of being stabbed with the knife and injured the attempted robber. My girlfriend ran out my house away from me and my attacker and phoned the police. The injuries were 17 staples in the i.ps head but my attacker could have did alot worse with his knife. All my girlfriend did was phone the police begging for help as someone tried to stab me and both myself and my girlfriend ended up locked up in police cells for 3 days then prison for 3 days something my girlfriend had never experienced. So i have defended myself from my attacker and my girlfriend ran to phone the police shouting for help and we get locked up. He had travelled over 10miles to rob me, now me and my girlfriend are bailed and electronically tagged to my home address from hours of 8pm til 7am. Now whats to stop my attacker coming back to my house between those times with another weapon or even with a friend next time?? I have been punished and could be punished for a section18assault when i have basically defended off my knife wielding attacker, my girlfriend the same and all she did was phone the police and shout for help. All the police have in evidence in all of this is a scouring pad full of red paint what they believed to have been blood, a cream coloured mug with no dna off the i.p, and the i.ps knife with only his finger prints on and we get this punishment?? Where is the justice? Was i meant to be stabbed that night or defend myself until the police arrived??

ive been to court now 6 times over contact with my daughter because my ex has broken every court order yet the court won't do anything about it, in fact the keep reducing my contact now as we have had cafcass involved and my daughter is now saying she doesn't want to stay with me anymore. I believe this is because my ex keeps stopping contact all the time and telling my daughter what to say. Is there anything I can do?

I was attacked my 2 males and a female, the case was thrown out of court, one male and the female have been done for common assault already and the male was a bailiff for that court! I was in court for assaulting them! I was manipulated into thinking I had them in court unaware that I was in there myself, as a victim this is disgusting the system should be ashamed of themselves it proves that they look after there own!

As Betty Grunge, I too suffered domestic violence for my ex-partner to be admonished. I couldn't get an exclusion order, so my children and I were homeless for months. I cant enter "his" house so I cant get our things. In law I have no rights as a common law spouse. He has kept everything and I have been constantly pounded in the family court and he has full parental rights. He therefore controls my children as he has everything they ever knew, home, pals, school, their toys etc. Anything I say I am a vindictive liar!! The Law has continued his abuse, I recently had to let go a job as "he" decided to change the contact arrangements. I feel so let down and I will ever be pounded by him and the courts as he chooses. I'm done fighting as I am drowning.
dom 29/11/2014 at 11:52 am
you are absolute correct in saying that the law is corrupt.from top to bottom,in my case that its still on going.i have now been given judgment twice,and because its all about money and make sure their bank account gets bigger they have their own law.to print money,the more appeals they can give more money for them.the the defendant in my case as now failed to comply with 2 court orders,and is on the third appeal.£155 pounds a pop.i have paid my original fee to start it £245pounds and one appeal of £155 pounds and all because the so called law keep leting him appeal,and theirs no body that you can turn to,because its the court of law and they cant be wrong.......the whole system stinks.and it about time a new system is brought in.to sue the courts when they are wrong with out costing you everything you got.at the moment the very court thats done wrong to you,you have to go back to them first.can you belive that.its like saying go back to the offender first,what a joke.we live in the 21st centray for god sake.if an MP is reading this do something about it.

Does anyone know if courts take it seriously if action is taken against someone and the person lied in his claim and his witness statement and the person secured a judgement knowing the person he took action against was ill. He also knew this and the person was unable to defend themselves against the action. I would be interested in the feedback.
JohnL Editor 10/11/2014 at 11:03 am
@Grunge Betty - If you are worried about being in contact with him, post-case have a word with your solicitor. As far as I know, you might be able to get civil injunctions under the Protection from Harassment Act 1997. It might also allow a restraining order to be attached even if criminal proceedings have been taken and the conviction has not been upheld. The court needs to believe that you might be at risk. Restraining orders can provide the same protection as an injunction, but if revoked also may carry stronger penalties.
Grunge Betty 07/11/2014 at 8:04 pm
I suffered a gross injustice today..magistrates are a joke! My now ex, assaulted me and tried to strangle me on the 11th August 2014, police were called, arrived when the ex had left...took statement and pictures then they were on there way. I took it upon myself to take photos as the swelling and bruising worsened as the night went on.. He was arrested the following morning outside my house. He spent 12 hours in a cell in between interviews, then released on conditional bail to appear in court at a later date, where he pleaded NOT guilty....He was free to go again with the same bail conditions until the 7th November(today) I had to attend because of his false not guilty claim.. I was cross examined by the duty solicitor and then degraded and demeaned by his solicitor..my photos were observed. I also had a witness who saw my injuries and the ex at my house on the day it happened. She was called to go in to court but told they did not need her evidence as they had enough from my evidence..The policeman who attended mine was cross examined then it was adjourned for an hour. I had left at this point but wish i had stayed. The ex was cross examined by both parties.He was also warned for speaking out of turn twice when i was on the stand. 2 hours later i receive a call from police informing me he had been found NOT guilty!! And thats justice for victims of domestic violence??? I am mortified that he has got away with it...he has been arrested for assault on 2 other separate occasions before i knew him and he also has mental health issues and has chose to come off his medication,,(bi polar). I cant believe the outcome of this and i feel totally let down by the courts. I am now more nervous of him paying me a visit than i was after the assault. I am disgusted with the justice system.. Is there any action i can take that wont be futile?? ANY advice welcome..thanx Soo

My ex lied on court over beating me and my son now my son is traumatised he did not report husband when it happen few years ago for fear of what would happen to me from abuse of ex husband. He told police and the court but he only had witness who seen marks not saw step dad whip him with belt only me his brother and sister court did nothing. He needs justice to go on in his life he cannot cope with lack of evidence it did happen everyone saw the whip marks whe he fled from the home.
woa123 Editor 05/08/2014 at 10:22 am
@Kenny, why would you walk into a court and ask a magistrate that? What did you expect to happen? Although you may have asked the question politely the question itself wasn't appropriate and you would have come cross as having an attitude straight away.

Whilst waiting for justice for me I provide help for others on a vuluntry level who are victims of abuse by the services.

An ex Military was wrongfully incarcerated and his wife has an aquired brain injury from abuse of her family. The wife that CVAT will not accept their marriage refer to her by her maiden name. The services do not help but they abuse. The wife was forced to sign documents relating to her property by her family and was not allowed to read. She then had a brain bleed and the family tried to turn of the life support after 1 day but the man who married her would not let them. They go married and because they were married they could not do anything to the sister so they had him put away. The brother one of the main offenders and high up in human services. Whilst they he was illegally incarcerated and not even properly assessed the brother inlaw his wifes brother placed all his pension and his property in the hands of a state financial institution. The Courts allowed and he had no lagal representation or did they ask him yet he was capable and is now. He is not a psychiatric patient and he and his wife are being fiancially abused by this institution and used for fraud to the point his pension is not even paid into his accounts they use alias names. He canot get a solcitor because they believe once you have been in a psychiatric institution and if you are in a place like that you have no rights and regardless of the law and civil liberties and human rights. He does not want them as his financial lenders of for their health they do not even know him and they lie and abuse to do anything to justify the money, how do we get judicial fairness and procedure if the courts do not follow, how can we unappoint what he does not what but what the courts allowed without him knowing? Its all about money and abuse how do we get rights in Australia they are not criminals.

How can police get away with not allowing a parent to press charges against a 42 year old woman for assaulting a 13 year old child and having cctv evinced. Also for over two years this woman and her entire family have been liying and making up false allegations on a regula basis twards my three children and myself. It will be two years on september the 10th this year that this same woman her daughter and son attacked me on my way in to my daughters school after resiveing a phone call that this womans 14 year old daughter and 16 year old son beat my daughter the same one as the mother attacked back to the assault on myself i sustained multiple injures and as a result still suffer today because of it this woman admitted her son had hold of me but the police desided there was not enough evidence and it was my word against theirs. So desided to not take it any further i was informed through a third party because this woman and her family laughing about it in the local pub that they had got away with aassaulting me.

Under the umbrella of HMCTS, After divorce we seek Mediation and agreed to the terms as we wanted to keep the Family together, This means that there is No Case To Answer before the Courts, But under the Umbrella of HMCTS the Solicitors was able to have me before the Courts, Have me imprisoned, Take away my Home without any Lawful Documents, The Lad Registry make changes to my Deeds but do not have an Order, The Police came to my Home and took my Keys and licked me up and now says that the house had been Sold, I made an SAR to the court but they say that the Tape transcript has been lost, Another SAR but was told that the information I required is not available. So why is no one wanted to take on this case, ? Is this a case of Conspiracy, Discrimination, Intimidation, Victimization, It is now over 14 Years can anyone now tell me where as a Laymen can I now take my case ? Is there no Honest Lawman, Woman left in our world ? Remember, There should be no respect of person in Judgement, You should hear the Great as well as the Small,
andy 08/07/2014 at 3:22 pm
I was divorced in 1999 and after divorce was taken to court but the Court did not make any order but left it to the Solicitor but when the Solicitors did and asked the Clerk to signed it this was refused, I was sent to prison, I made an SAR to the Court but was told that the tape transcript could not be located so the two Barristers was asked to put together what they could remember, They put together that my wife should leave the House, In August 2012 and January 2013 I was in court and on September 2013 the police came to my home and arrested me and take my house keys and take me to Jail after 4 hours I was released without charged, They now say that the house ism sold but the police reported that there is no evidence that the police had been to my home, I asked the Courts for transcript of the case but was told that there is no information available, I reported the matter to the ICO but was told that the ICO has limited resources, Now I understand that there was, No Case to Answer, This is the reason why there is no Court transcript and no lawful Orders, It is now 14 years and no Solicitors or Organisation will take my case, I am Homeless and need the case to be resolve in the High, Supreme Court, It is a case of Fraud which the police will not investigate, The IPCC told me that I have no appeal, the west mercia also told me that there are no appeal,

today was the final hearing in family law the judge made an order for my daughter to be placed for adoption. social services falsified and failed all the viability assessments of the maternal and paternal side of the family. My sister who works for the local authority as a support worker with 22 years experience in handling vulnerable adults with larning disabilities and also having NNEB Nursey Nurse and health and social care qualifications was told she was positive for special guardianship this went on for 3 months then social services knew that I had falsely being charged with the false rape allegation and went against my sister stating that she was too close to me and to get on with her life at no point did they tell her she had a right to appeal, she turned up at court with a statement of truth and the judge rejected it also he did not look at the whole evidence and made a care order and placement order. im so devastated my baby daughter always keeps calling out my name she will be affected if she goes for adoption.
need advice on pre s 30/07/2013 at 2:13 pm
I have been convicted of three count of fraud and three counts of theft from an elderly vulnerable lady. The total value is £40,000 and it happened over along period of time.
The judge has ordered pre sentence reports and has said he will be paying particular notice of my remorse. I did not commit the fraud or theft, so i am concerned that if I DO NOT admit to remorse, I will be in deeper trouble than I am already. Advice Please..... Should I now after a two week trial say that I commited a crime to hopefully get a shorter prison sentence???

mrs. aqadir 22/03/2013 at 1:10 pm
Salam, I have a dispute with MBSB for which I like your advice. There are two separate matters as follows:

1) I have taken a loan from MBSB and there was a non-payment dispute against which MBSB went to court in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah. The court gave a decision against me. But I or my lawyer were not present as I was not in the court, nor was I informed by MBSB or the court about the case. I got to know that a case had been filed against me and it was already decided against me after the decision was given. How do I appeal this decision as I was not even informed about it and did not get a chance to present my side of the arguments to the court ? How can the court not give me a chance to present my side of the case ? Is it not a miscarriage of justice ? Please advise me how to appeal and where to appeal ? I am in Tawau, Sabah.

2) The Bank MBSB is asking me to pay legal fees etc of the case and hiking up my interest rate. Some officers at MBSB also tried to take over my property working with unscrupulous members of Property business so they could make some money. MBSB top management is not responding to my complaints. What should I do ? I don't want to lose my house as i am paying every month to MBSB, but I do not want to pay extra as I do not accept the court judgement since I was not given chance to present my case to the court. There is some iilegal activity going on and corruption which is being done by MBSB officers in Kota Kinabalu branch of MBSB. Can you help me ? MBSB top management is not bothered about corruption of their branch officers in Sabah sitting in KL or they are also benefitting from it.Please help. I am a lady teacher alone in Tawau as my husband is out of the country.

Thank you.

How do I complain about the justice system over all I completely disagree with the way prisoners are handled and I would like to tell someone how I feel who can do something about it?how would I go about doing that?
Jonny 08/02/2013 at 10:31 pm
I have simply question for judges in family court cases in the uk!
Why! children in uk,not allwe to give evidence by video-link taken Independently
by both parents=this will clearly Indicate to the judge what the child has in his/her mind and heart,instead of keep tormenting innocent children by so call profesionals-
none member's of the family=stressful torment.
Children Act.1989 make clearly;that Emotional abuse
is no diffrent than Physical abuse there for;
Underage-Innocent children of Britain need Solid Protection from Emotional-Sociological damage to they Health-Well-being.
Angry Essex 28/01/2013 at 5:27 pm
My son was given a fine for going through a red light, (which he did not do). But knowing he could not win his case as it was 2 police officers words against his, he decided to pay the fine & except the 3 points.
He filled in the court forms pleading guilty & added he did not go through a red light but cannot afford court fees & wont win his case as there were 2 police officers against him so he will pay the fine.
He then recieved a hearing date which we attended, we were told he cannot plead guilty if his innocent & set a court date which was today.
We are very angry & both feel the very let down, he was told by the court clerk he had to plead guilty or he could be banned for 1 year, as he will not win his case, as he had 2 police officers words against his. The police officers original written statements were not correct, & they told the court at the hearing more information that was not true & was not in thier original statements. They were just adding things in to make things look bad for my son.
They had no evidence to prove my son when through the red light, my son refused to sign the statement the officer had written at the time of him being given the fine as it wasnt the truth.
My son went straight to his local police station to complain about the way the officer treated him, & was told there was nothing they could do as it was going to court.
My son now has 3 points & a £200.00 fine, which i have to pay as he cannot afford it, & all because the first hearing said he could not plead guilty if he was innocent, but he had to plead guilty anyway, even though he was innocent.
You dont stand a chance, the way things are done is corrupt.
underdog 27/01/2013 at 11:03 pm
was not able to change date of hearing as witness not available yet claiment had changed date months before. Amounting to Judge taking no weight to writen statements as they could not be cross examined. So case went against us

AllenVincent489 20/01/2013 at 5:54 am
Please see my twitter and telly video's AllenVincent489 but over 18 as extreme vulnerable adult abuse from Police and my 76yo Mum Beryl and I very distressed & scared. Going through extreme violations of EC Human Rights, Disability Rights, Equality Act 2010, Public Sector Equality Duty, previously by Sheffield Employment Tribunal, then Sheffield County Court over me suing SRA under Equality Act 1SE06800 and now extreme unlawful acts from primarily Folkestone Magistrate but also Canterbury, Dover and soon in Feb 2013 Margate.
Arrested & tortured FIVE times by Canterbury Police since 11th May 2012, Mum agree for me to paint HELP on her front garden fence in Aylesham Nr Canterbury Kent since 25th May 2013, last arrest new years eve 31st December 2012 at Canterbury Police Station, they kicked in two of my Mum's doors and not release me till 2nd Jan 2013, extreme violations of Police code of conduct including again by senior officers, medical staff & duty solicitors.
Magistrates had to come to Canterbury Police cell on 2nd Jan 2013 as I had wrote things like above key words plus Kent Police corruption, torture, even my Mum's number on wall but magistrate force Mum and I unlawfully to go too my Edlington Doncaster address by the end of midnight 2nd Jan only approx 8 hours later! He ignore our distress, no appropriate adult. Now have perverse, unfair and unreasonable bail conditions that I truly believe is designed to drive me to suicide and/or for the stress and terror of what's happening to us to drive my Mum to her final fatal heart attack!
I am aspergers syndrome so on Autism Spectrum (means I'm clever and tell the truth)! dyspraxia, born deaf, ADHD, clinical depression, asthma, speech defects, high stress & anxiety with no support worker or any support of any kind for my Mum or I, very extreme.
Mum and I forced to go again to Folkestone Magistrate Court from Doncaster on 16.1.2013 so 5 hour drive due to bad weather and Mum's poor health and only 2 hours sleep then the court and solicitor AGAIN trick us as no machine to let me type, magistrate refuse to talk too my Mum or me!! It's all a horrible unlawful extreme mess.
I can't always communicate this way and calmly and get extreme direct discrimination arising from disability, unlawful denial of service, refusal to make reasonable adjustments that robustly help me.
Please will someone be brave and help us. Ps Police professional standards Kent and South Yorkshire, plus corrupt IPCC already cover up complaint and what is happening to us. Now they all exploit and manipulate our disabilities as they know I write better than I can talk etc and Police and other public authorities learnt how to antagonise and provoke my aspergers.
Supposed to be back at Folkestone Magistrate on 28th Jan 2013 so if anyone can help PLEASE DO but chance we won't make it as I am to ill to drive as feel constantly sick now.
JudgesareScum 09/01/2013 at 2:13 am
Typical Corruption as always. Just Deliberate Red Tape to make it Difficult to complain about the Corruption off the Family Courts and the lowlife scum Judges who are supposed to uphold the law, but instead are Running a crime syndicate of corruption and extortion selling Kids for Cash. No wonder this country is now in the gutter with corrupt Judges and Politicians running the country. They should all be stoned to death slowly over many weeks. This is Sick. The very people who are supposed to protect children are instead Abusing Them. A Revolution Is coming, mark my Words.
Ange 03/12/2012 at 12:40 pm
My son is on bail at the moment and has been so for over 12 months due to allegations made in October 2011. he was originally bailed not to go home but due to the length of the investigations he was allowed to do so in January 2012. In September 2011 he was arrested a second time on completely different charges but the bail conditions are that he cannot return to his residence to his home town and he has since been charged with issues relating to the first arrest and second arrest. He has now had his housing benefit suspended after 14 years and may lose his home. He has never been in trouble before and I doubt that he wil be found guilty at this time as there is actually no direct evidence Can we not fight these bail conditions to allow him home
annoyed partner 19/11/2012 at 7:27 pm
my partner has been put in prison, from the judge's summoning up he was directing the jurors - two who were asleep most of the time, to find him guilty there was no evidence just her word against his. the judge was unbelievabley bais and i knew my partner was going to jail - who do i complain to re this bias judge even his barrister said he was bais.
THE LEFTHOOKER 01/11/2012 at 8:34 pm
You all need to get proper Solicitors, and I don't know where you are all based but Ashcroft Solicitors in Manchester, so if I were in any of the positions above, I would be on to them like a shot... just look up Criminal Defence Solicitors in Manchester.

These guys Rock the injustice retards out there, just stitching people up day in day out.
fighter 18/10/2012 at 8:59 pm
i was told by the office of judicial complaints to bring the police in as they cant investigate criminal misconduct by a judge the police have said they wont do it until my case has been overturned thats ok but i cant get a solicitor to take my case up so still cant get my kids back this injustice is very unfair what can i do about it
i am the1in10 12/10/2012 at 12:57 am
back in 2000 i was involved in an RTA on way to work,the vehicle was turned into a banana from side impact
i ended up with two prolapsed discs and torn back and neck muscles.
I took the case to court ,all legal routes lead to this one
day at southampton crown court ,being a builder this discomfort i am left with
seriously affected my normal working day, of witch compensation
was the only comfort.
in court i was in the dock for roughly two hours being bullied by the defence
and the odd nasty comment off the judge .
i put this down to normal practice as im totaly unfamilier with the court
system , it was only after the back specialist that was going to represent me
told me he cant go in thier and go through the ordeal i had to go through , he also said that it could be worse you could be living in a third world country so you wouldnt get a day in court, then my defence told me the judge dosent like the look of you so we advice you to drop the case, iv e suffered bitter nitemares ever since , were was my human rights to fare trial
im now self employed and work at my own pace, i cant earn what i used to,
Sewzee 03/10/2012 at 12:08 pm
My son was stopped by a police officer and had his car seized as the officer informed him there was no insurance on the car. The car was in my name and the insurance was in my name with my son down as the named driver. Back at the end of July this year the car was failing mechanically and my ex informed my son that he would repair the car but he would need to work for him to pay back for the costs incurred. He did this and went to stay with his dad the end of July, the car remained off the road until my son worked to build up the money to pay for the reapirs which needed to be done. This didn't take place until this weekend (29 Sept 2012). He informed me back in July that the car was not roadworthy and therefore it has to be garaged until he could save up for the repairs I then decided to contact the insurance company and cancel the policy. I only hear from my son intermittently and had a phone call in work on 1st Oct 2012 saying he has been booked for no insurance obviously he was shocked as he stated to the police he was aware he had as it was in his mothers name. At this point I was unaware he had the car fixed or was coming home - he said he was going to surprise me that evening when I came home and would find him there. He had no reason to know I had cancelled the insurance as he was living with his dad and the car was in the garage and not driveable. II would have assumed he would have contacted me to tell me he was going to come home and then I would have rung the insurance company back and ask them to reinstate it. As it happened within the hour of him telling me he had the car seized I rang the company to reinstate it and the inusrance was up and running within that hour. He is only 19 and have finished College in July and have worked hard for two months saving to have his car repaired and now he wants to look for an apprenticeship because as he stated "he now has a car to travel". I feel it is unfair that he has to go to court and have 6 points and a ban when he was completely unaware if anything I should be having the points as I was aware it was cancelled and it was my vehicle. All this has come about so he could come home and surprise me as I haven't seen him for a while. What can I do I have spoken to the local police station that day and they said I would need to contact and office of theirs in Cardiff that deals with motor offences I did and they said he would have to go to court. He is now beside himself and is saying his life is not worth living he is so depressed and was like that before this happened due to him not securing an apprenticeship in todays current economic climate. I don't know what to do or where to turn please help?
General 16/09/2012 at 6:18 pm
My brother was recently assaulted on his doorstep and as a result had his leg broken, resulting in him being unable to work. After 7-8 weeks the case against the individual who assaulted my brother was dropped rather dubiously. The outcome appears rather unreasonable with no real explanation, how can we push for reconsideration. It appears fron the police response that my brother's criminal history has been relevant to to this standalone incident, my brother has served his punishment for previous misdemeanours so why isn't the police action consistent?
Tika 14/09/2012 at 9:04 am
I am an interpreter and was verbally harassed by a legal adviser who appeared to judge me on appearance and assumed me not speaking the language which was required for trial than she showed her very surprised facial expression and said:Yes, we are expecting but ... tutkish Interpreter .' she purely judged me on my a bit oriental look and everyone else in the court look at me and could hear how rude she was with me. When I was interpreting she often was showing facial expression of disapprovment by shaking her head and asking leading questions to defendant again with very sour face. Help me where I can comLain her mIsconduct and discrimination and said fact that it was happening in presence of 2 magistrates who turned blind eye
Douglas 29/08/2012 at 5:27 pm
The CPS had information which they did not share with my solicitor , who also misrepresented me at court , I ask my solicitor to get intouch with a professional person before the court date which he did not . The cps witness lied in court and even thro the cps new this did not stop it and because my solicitor did not have the evidence the Magistrates were allowed to hear this and beleaved it . After the hearing I phone up and got the proof my self , which contradicted the cps witness the was a major thing in my case . Was the CPS right not to share this information with my solicitor and was if my solicitor misrepresent me at court .
Doris 16/08/2012 at 10:36 pm
Can you report a crime direct to the judge ie if in your court case the other side tamper with evidence can you report that crime to the judge on the case.
Justice? 22/06/2012 at 4:10 pm
A case for wasting Police time was dropped after 2 1/2 years. It is now at appeal stage but dont hold out much hope. I understand people have human rights but so do the families that have been put through so much stress due to false allegations. I want to take to European courts but where do I start?
Corruption is rife 28/05/2012 at 12:31 pm
I have been advised by a solicitor to ' do a deal' to ensure I don't receive a conviction for a level 5 public order offence ( which there is no evidence of because it never happened) or my already ongoing complaints against the local police force will be cancelled out if I get a conviction!! Surely that is discrimination?
becky 11/05/2012 at 11:19 am
