[paul/g]

if a legal team refuse to enter a defendants ( very valid) 'abuse of process application' into court- can the defendant then sack that legal team ?
if they refuse to come off record -what happens next ?

[Zacs-Master]

Not nearly enough information.

[paul/g]

i heard a judge made a defendant 'defend' himself & he'd learning difficulties- thats an abuse of court process- nobody done anything about it, shouldnt that case be threw out for that reason alone?

[Zacs-Master]

Any evidence to substantiate your claim?

[EDDIE51]

We need the full story to make any sensible comment.
You 'heard' we need facts not hearsay .
Why did the judge make the defendant defend himself, there has to be a lot of background history to this .

[paul/g]

evidence =yes,saw it happen ,case was aborted,cps,defence &judge dont want to bring to light the background issues so case lingers on.they appear to want a 'solo'run trial,surely they cant do that cos its abuse. i canny give detail on background.

[bednobs]

if the case has been aborted, why does this matter?

[Peter Pedant]

abuse of process is here
