court rulings are not final, but open-endedly faultable

[courtchange]

This is important, re your recent case with Lloyds TSB. I have joined this forum in order to post this info, after reading of the case. I read:

 

[ Marc Gander, of the Consumer Action Group, said the judge failed to consider that banks were acting illegally by disguising penalties as a fee for a service. But he added: "I would urge the hundreds of thousands of people who are making claims not to be disheartened." ]

 

This means you have found, and expressed publicly, legal fault with how a court reached a decision. You have made a reasoned objection that the court improperly ignored an aspect of law, that makes its decision wrong.

 

Isn't it mediaeval and corrupt that a court decision should still stand as having been made, when a judge has ignored part of the law applying to it? Hence a loophole in democracy allowing any law to be thwarted at will by the courts meant to uphold it, that anyone can conceive of calling such a decision "final" unless a "leave to appeal" is granted with the court having a choice to refuse it, and with an appeal costing money.

 

For 8 years! the media has covered up and determined not to acknowledge, the news that this situation has actually already been ended. It follows from illegal handling of a European Court of Human Rights case I brought in 1998-9, that because a court has committed a unarguably blatant illegality behind the mantra of "this decision is final," all legal decisions are no longer final. I call this the "court change". Anyone can see it is a massive historic advance in democracy - if its cover-up can be overcome and it is made publicly known. Until then, the system is illegally ignoring it.

 

Shockingly concerning how corrupt politics really is, all the big campaign groups on virtually every subject have chosen to ignore the court change and not be first to publicise its reality - even when they know it would benefit the people in whose cause they exist. This notably includes all the overseas aid charities, who should want to use the court change to help poor countries fight their debts, and could have publicised it through the make Poverty History campiagn, and all the immigration/asylum aid groups who could have used the court change to save lives by overturning the built-in injustices in the asylum system and preventing the state using corrupt short cuts to deport people to dangerous countries. This is how potent the court change is, yet everyone in charge of big campaing groups is calculating cynically that their own careers and favouredness at the top of politics are better served by ignoring the court change and taking part in its cover-up and illegal thwartation!

 

Whose victims now include your campaign too. You have had the law twisted to stop you winning a case you would win on fair logic.

 

The court change is on publicly traceable record through petitions 730/99 in the European, PE6 and PE360 in the Scottish, parliaments. (I'm in Scotland). Here are the facts of it set out simply, step by step.

 

Since 7 July 1999 all court or other legal decisions are "open to open ended fault finding by any party" instead of final. This follows from my European Court of Human Rights case 41597/98 on scandal of insurance policies requiring evictions of unemployed people from hotels. This case referred to a violation of civil status from 13 May 1997, yet the admissibility decision claimed the last stage of decision taken within Britain was on 4 Aug 1995. ECHR has made itself illegal, by issuing a syntactically contradictory nonsense decision that reverses the physics of time, and calling it final. This violates every precedent that ECHR member countries' laws recognise the chronology of cause and effect, in court evidence.

 

The European Convention's section on requiring a court to exist, now requires its member countries to create an ECHR that removes the original's illegality, by its decisions not being final. It follows this requires courts within the member countries to be compatible with open-ended decisions, and with doing in-country work connected to them. Hence, legal decisions within the member countries' courts also cease to be final and become open-ended, in the 47 Council of Europe countries.

 

The concept of "leave to appeal" is abolished and judges no longer have to be crawled to as authority figures. Every party in a case is automatically entitled to lodge a fault finding against any decision, stating reasons. These are further faultable in return, including by the original fault finder, stating reasons. A case reaches its outcome when all fault findings have been answered or accepted.

 

World trade irreversibly means jurisdictions are not cocooned but have overlapping cases. When a case overlaps an affected and unaffected country, the unaffected country becomes affected, through having to deal with open ended case content open-endedly, that can affect any number of other cases open-endedly. Open-endedness is created in its system.

 

So the court change is of far-reaching international interest. Anyone can add to the list of court change countries outside the Council of Europe, showing autocracies, pending their freer futures, as well as democracies.

Thanks for the information courtchange, which I confess is over my head. However, I see that you have also posted it in the Campaign forum, which is probably more appropriate, so am just providing a link to that for anyone wishing to respond.

 

http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/campaign/91601-no-court-decisions-ever.html

 

I would add that it can be disappointing when the press pick up on one case, such as the Lloyds one in Birmingham, and choose to overlook the thousands of others that have been successful. I guess that they aren't quite as newsworthy, although the press coverage of the bank charges issues is now gaining momentum.

Thread has been moved to the correct forum.

Thank you courtchange. you're fighting the good, though lonely fight of true justice.

 

Long may you continue.
