Rekha Patel loses her house

[Gregg]

I'm not up on my English History, but if you're going to be invoking stuff back to King John I'm almost positive there's some interesting laws about the punishment for claiming a barony estate when the King or right of primogeniture doesn't entitle you to. I think a Duke of Norfolk (who had a lot of legitimate rights) was pretty gruesomely treated for having the wrong heraldry.

Is claiming "exclusive jurisdiction and authority of the house of McDowell Warrington" at least as much?

[TheNewSaint]

"House of McDowell" eh? Maybe that's near "House of Ward" which is also in Warrington.

In all its official correspondence, the former House of Ward was "off the Warrington burg." Don't go putting this sovereign embassy under jurisdiction, now.

Don't get excited this is about Wednesday's events (little more insight)

My personal highlights below

https://tamesidereporter.com/2017/08/co ... -in-chaos/

Mr Thompson encouraged the group not to do so stating: “Don’t’ stand up it gives them power over us”.

The court usher then attempted to present the defendants with the required legal documents.

However, the defendants insisted that the documents should be given to their “legal representative” Mr Thompson, rather than to themselves.

This was contrary to the instructions of the court clerk, but the two women refused to even touch the documents and Ms Leezack said: “(it is) dirty corrupt paperwork”.

The defendants urged Mr Thompson to emphasise that they “are women rather than just people,” apparently in their belief that this distinction had a bearing on their case.

Chair of the Magistrates, Caroline Turner, repeatedly asked Mr Thompson to allow her to speak as he continued to question the court’s authority in an increasingly raised voice.

The court clerk and legal advisor warned Mr Thompson about his behaviour saying he was “being rude” but the court clerk’s warning seemed to fall on deaf ears and he continued to shout: “You have no jurisdiction”.

Throughout this exchange Ms Leezack labelled the legal professionals “incompetent” and repeatedly performed a ritual, apparently intended to ward off ‘evil spirits.’

I do not recall anything in rules of court procedure actually forbidding rituals to ward off evil spirits, so they may be OK with that part.

Wow it's been a full-on week in the mad world of Wrecka and Cheryl - Craig David should dedicate a song to them...
Monday was pandemonium with Crazy Ken Contemptible of Caroline
Wednesday was Peter of the House of McDowell seizing back his castle but getting arrested by servants of the corporations
And today folks...Thelma and Louise are on the run. They turned up at Stockport Magistrates this morning but left before the case could get under way. There's a warrant out for their arrest so if you see em first - take cover...

So I got it right, the didn't show up, nice one. Free room and board coming up.

Apparently they did show up, they just buggered off when their case was not called at the alloted time, some idiot probably convinced them that if their name wasn't called they were free to go, or some other nonsense like that.

[Pox]

Thompson should have been directed to sit quietly in the public seating, or leave the court. If he refused, he should have been placed in contempt and sent down to the cells to reflect carefully upon his next words to the court. By failing to maintain justice and order in that first minute, the magistrates invited further contempt.

The legal advisor should have discreetly instigated police and court security attendance during the second minute. And they should have been nearby, because this was a wholly predictable incident.

The lead magistrate who "repeatedly asked Thompson to allow her to speak" should be ashamed of herself. To beg a contemptor for permission to speak is utterly humiliating, and discredits the honourable service of thousands of volunteer JP's.

And finally when the hearing was abandoned, this disruptive and insolent little gang should have been detained for contempt or thrown out of the courthouse. To allow them to hang around causing chaos was unfathomably stupid. The Stockport court's pathetic submission to just 6 gobshites will embolden many more.

Imagine being a victim of assault or burglary, attending to give evidence and watch British justice being done. You would go home thinking that the courts were a joke, that you could have no confidence in law and order. Utterly shameful.

Agreed, I have personal experience (as a claimant) of how a judge bends over backwards to indulge those without professional qualified representation. At the first hearing, the judge was of the 'no nonsense' type and threatened contempt of court for the defendant (at least twice).
Threatened but didn't!!!
At two subsequent hearings, the judge was (apparently) one who strongly believes in 'justice for all' which I agree with, but not to the extent that I was paying for my legal representatives to sit in court while the defendant talked for hours about maritime law, (the case was nothing to do with boats or anything similar) , kidnaping, murder .....
For the final trial, a date was set for a 3 day trial 'so that the defendant would have the chance to 'have his say''.
On the appointed day, he didn't turn up and judgement was made in my favour. I think it would have been anyway, even if he had turned up.
The whole episode cost me thousands, which I won't recover but I do have peace of mind because of an injunction, which is what the case was all about.
If his tosh had been nipped in the bud at the first stages, it would have saved me some money but more importantly I perhaps would have had 6 months less of being terrified of going out of the house without an escort.
In the Patel case, the magistrates need to 'grow some', as they say!

Showing up at the courthouse on time then leaving before your case is called doesn't qualify as showing up. That's only met by being physically present in the courtroom when your hearing starts.

Are there any news reports or facebooks posts to confirm or detail what happened today ?

[notorial dissent]

Well, somehow and not surprisingly, that went pretty much the way I expected it to, however, the devil is in the details. I can't wait to see how and when they finally capture Thelma and Louise. They have at least managed to turn a minor matter in to a major one now, will be interesting to see how the courts treat it. I do suppose it is too much to hope that when they do ultimately end back up in the dock, that Mr Thomspson will be joining them, not as "friend" but as a co-defendant.

Leaving before the case was heard is less serious than the earlier incident. A warrant is likely to be issued, but if they politely apologise with some excuse (migraine, family emergency etc) there will be no significant sanction. The real question is how their defiance in court will be handled.

Generally these cases are reassigned to a salaried District Judge, who has greater legal powers and fortitude than a mere magistrate. Ushers and court professionals will crowd in to watch the spanking, and tell stories for years afterwards. Fingers crossed....

Seriously?? You don't seriously expect Wrecka to actually apologize, do you???? She has remained self destructively defiant and incredibly stupid to a fare thee well so far. I don't see any reason to expect her to change a winning strategy just because it would be sensible or the right thing to do.

I'm with you ND, not a cat in hells chance she will do the 'sensible' thing, she's too far down the defiance road to back down now, plus she's surrounded herself with the crazy people who'll be egging her on to even stupider heights

Were there any reports of rituals being performed in the waiting area? I am just a bit concerned in case any evil spirits were harmed in the making of this fiasco.

[notorial dissent]

Now a cat I wouldn't question for a minute. Wrecka on the other hand is a speshul snowflake with similar chance. She has some extra speshully stupid friends.

Rumple, your concern and consideration is noted, and appreciated.

[He Who Knows]

If convicted for failing to turn up at Court you could be sent to prison for up to 3 months. This is on top of any sentence that's imposed for the original offence for which you were on bail. Maybe Thelma and Louise turned up at Stockport Magsitrates on Friday to show willing in the knowledge that if they could offer a good enough excuse at a later date, they'd avoid jail time.
