Civil Procedure Rules
Dear Sir or Madam,
Can you supply any information that you hold on whether a defence lawyer [part time judge] working on behalf of the Department of the Environment [Animal Health] in a civil case can wait until minutes before entering the court room before serving the defence papers onto the claimant’s witness in relation to a claim for illegally charging a member of the public to register a hybrid falcon that did not need to be registered?
Furthermore, do you hold any information on whether or not the judge in the case above, when asked to adjournment the case to read the ‘ambush defence’ followed the correct procedure by saying "keep quiet" to the claimant and ignoring the topic brought to the judge’s attention that the defence papers should have been disclosed at a reason date before the trial as the claimant was ordered to do? I am also interested in any information that you may hold in relation to aforesaid matters to the extent my right to a fair trial was violated [Art 6]
Do you also hold any information on whether the government can retrospectively make illegal charging to register hybrid falcons legal years after the crime was committed [fraud]?
Yours faithfully,
Derek Canning LLB[hons]
