To ensure fast access over slow connections, large documents have been segmented into "chunks". Where you see a "continue" button at the bottom of the page of text, this indicates that there is another chunk of text available. Dame Butler Sloss is featured in connection with these Regulations because she heard an Appeal in the High Court where the Wealden District Council had, in perversity, asked the Courts to deny Nelson Kruschandl his right to basic sanitation - as part of their vendetta against him and his family.

 

The amazing part of this story is that a female High Court judge actually went along with it - because she appears not to have known that what she was doing was unlawful. Just as amazing is that the barrister defending Kruschandl - also did not know about these Regulations. But the lady judge did order removal of all sanitation from Herstmonceux Museum, just as David Phillips, Vic Scarpa (and Geff Johnson) and Christine Nuttall were requesting. Dame Butler Sloss became involved later as the appeal judge, in the Court of Appeal, when Mr Kruschandl filed an appeal. It goes without saying that such malicious actions by Wealden District Council were violations of Kruschandl's Human Right to enjoyment of property without interference from local authority - a breach of Article 8.

DAFT OR MALICIOUS? - "Mr Kruschandl, having taken out the toilets to comply with the Order of the Court below, presumably you can then put them back to comply with Health and Safety Regulations." Does that seem logical to you? Surely, the Court below had no right to insist that the toilets were removed. The right to have a toilet is granted to all persons by the State. A statutory right may not be denied any person by a Court. When Nelson Kruschandl asked for permission to adduce a letter from the Health & Safety Executive, which explained the legal situation to Dame Butler Sloss, she refused. "You keep that letter in you pocket Mr Kruschandl." That is what she is said to have replied, or words to that effect. The law is indeed an ass.

POTTY TRAINING - Using a potty may be a new skill for your planning team to learn. It's best to take it slowly and go at your candidates pace, about the same pace as a child should do the trick. Being patient with them will help them get it right, even if they sometimes feel frustrated. They should be taught that every person is entitled to a toilet as per Article 14 no matter how much their team are out to get any challenging member of the public - and yes we know how irritating it is to be caught out - and yes of course that makes you hate that member of the public more - so that you try another dirty trick and then an even dirtier trick until malfeasance becomes misfeasance. So, if you are going to plan a vendetta, be sure that you don't get caught with your trousers down. Bury your target good and proper - or he or she may come back to haunt you with the inconvenient truth and reveal what your council did and why they did it - and worst of all - your part in the whole sorry affair. Think then of blowing the whistle.

 

 

FORMER RULINGS

Dame Elizabeth, (85 @ 2014), was thrust into the public eye in the late 1980s during the Cleveland child abuse inquiry which resulted in the Children Act of 1989.

The act incorporated many of her recommendations aimed at ensuring that children were not removed from parents unless absolutely necessary.

 

 

Virgintiy testing for claimants in sexual assault cases should be mandatory 

 

FORWARD - In respect of forensic examinations, Dame Butler Sloss says that more research is needed. We could not agree more. But surely, we need a new law or guidance as to procedural compliance by doctors acting in an official capacity. Dr Melanie Liebenberg is accused of failing to properly (fully) carry out the inspection of a girl alleging abuse, because it is alleged that she must have realised that a girl she was examining was a virgin (unsullied), but that she kept that to herself - concentrating on another issue by way of slight of hand - knowing that that issue was dead. Whereas, the finding in R v Ward - where scientists had agreed to keep secret that a test for nitroglycerine also proved positive with boot polish, was that experts owed a duty to the courts to provide factual findings even where those facts do not support the Crown's case. Ward was convicted of being a bomber on the strength of such junk science and served many years in prison before the establishment realized that she was telling the truth - and referred her case to the Court of Appeal.

 

The ridiculous outfits (Robes & Wigs) that UK Judges wear - in this case suitable fancy dress for the ridiculous judgments that the courts frequently hand out. On that front, a red nose and bow tie would be more in keeping with some of the verdicts. British justice is a mockery, where more than 3% of convictions see innocent men spending time in prison.
