Clifford Bellamy - a good judgment

The link is to a judgment from HHJ Bellamy which in my view starts to look properly at one of the ludicrous cases that many local authorities have rubber stamped by other judges.

He recognises in this that the intervention of the local authority has been harmful to the family.

This is also another case where older children who are now adult were adopted and have reinstated the relationship with their mother.

I wonder if the local authority's motivation in going after the younger children was driven by a need to justify their earlier intervention.

It is worth reading through the judgment to see what rubbish Local Authorities come up with at times.

Six months for recording a court hearing - Norman Scarth

The link is in Russian about the imprisonment of Norman Scarth who is actually 85. He has a complex history including a court hearing which found that he used a chainsaw to fight off bailiffs when he was 75. [a court judgment which is disputed see comments] However, that does not justify imprisoning him for 6 months for recording a court hearing (see the link and ask google to translate it if your Russian is not up to it). It has got into the Argyll News Because he has been held such that people cannot get to him to sign paperwork an application for a writ of Habeas Corpus was made today. This has been adjourned until next week. The English judicial system is really not good at responding to major abuses of human rights by the judicial system.
