Dear Customer Services (CSHQ),
This seems ludicrous that you suggest seeking legal advice, the
question is not about legal advice.
Are we to take it that the ministry of justice has no idea whether
the magna carta is a valid document under common law?
Yours sincerely,
Chug Freeman

Dear Sir,
We are responsible for the administration of the courts in England and
Wales. As my colleague has said, you will need to seek legal advice to
clarify your question.
