    Remove #6 entire, it's just waffle. DJ Wright doesn't need that!

    And put the acronyms of the companies in capitals here:
    I was wondering if #6 needed removing. Thanks
    The rest is from my original defence.

    Should I put anything in about the denouncement by mp after mp of these companies in the House of Commons?

    Absolutely.

    The HoC debate, whilst of interest to us all, doesn't actually provide an arguable point of defence.

    Unless and until legislation is passed, and it can be shown that the PPC were operating in breach of that, the Judge can only apply the law as it currently stands, not as we or a group of MPs would wish it to be.

    I have been providing assistance, including Lay Representation at Court hearings (current score: won 57, lost 14), to defendants in parking cases for over 5 years. I have an LLB (Hons) degree, and have a Graduate Diploma in Civil Litigation from CILEx. However, any advice given on these forums by me is NOT formal legal advice, and I accept no liability for its accuracy.

    Perhaps, but judges are human, and have opinions. If one can convince a judge that, invariably the claim is a con, you are half way there.

    A judge cannot divorce himself from the will of the people, cf the DPP's rapid decision not to prosecute in the OAP/Burglar killing.

    Fair enough I will leave that out and I guess I will put my amended defence in as it currently stands in post 72.

    Therefore it would not be of any detriment to add this?

    Depends on the judge.

    Some judges might view it as irrelevant rubbish and be annoyed to even have to read it, whilst others might like it.

    No way of knowing which DJ you will meet.

    Your decision.

    The DPP's decision in that case was based on a proper application of the law.

    The OAP used 'reasonable force' to defend himself, faced with a potentially violent criminal who was threatening to stab him with a screwdriver. It is unfortunate that the man died, but that was a consequence of the recklessness of his actions.

    Any prosecution on a charge of murder or manslaughter would inevitably have resulted in the jury returning a Not Guilty verdict, and a huge waste of public funds bringing it to trial.
