Elephant in the courtroom of civil law exposes how countries are being scammed by their pillars of society.
We have case studies from the UK proving how making fairness a civil law instead of an objective will change everything. It will stop the cost of living crisis by bringing billions into the country.
This will demand and fund significant reform; from schools, social care, and policing, to all types of bank services, commerce, infrastructure, and politics.
Changing Civil Law
A media campaign to change this law in England and Wales is being led by politicians and presented to the Master of the Rolls.
On 03/10/2023, a judge at the Royal Courts of Justice said all these points are articulated extremely clearly and provided valuable insight. All civil courts are overrun with enormous backlogs because public entities build their business with civil law not prioritising fairness.
Civil law vs criminal law:
Generally, criminal courts focus the seriousness of proceedings. Detering lies and reducing mistakes to reach the truth rapidly. But civil law is judged on who can afford the best solicitors to claim or defend lies.
Civil procedure rule 1.1(2)(a) states, “ensuring that the parties are on an equal footing and can participate fully in proceedings, and that parties and witnesses can give their best evidence.” But this is overridden by point 1.1(1), “These Rules are a procedural code with the overriding objective of enabling the court to deal with cases justly and at proportionate cost.”
This helps law firms manipulate civil court’s wide discretionary powers to override fairness. It allows officers of the court to sign witness statements about what entities have said although nothing has been witnessed.
Claims of lies are generally not judged before trial. The burden of proving lies is placed on the public, although they are not privy to some of what their opponents will say until moments before entering the courtroom.
The previous UK Government published why civil law has wrongfully evolved not to prioritise fairness. This has resulted in banks stealing a staggering £1.2 trillion, plus billions more taken by corrupt officials as proven by the Good Law Project.
ECHR cannot interfere in property law:
One of these studies shows how civil law is incompatible with Article 6 § 1 of the ECHR – The right to a fair trial. Banks deprive the public of their property through non-payment of taxes or other contributions or penalties. But even the ECHR cannot intervene because Article 1 of Protocol No. 1 of the ECHR – Protection of Property, states, “….The preceding provisions shall not, however, in any way impair the right of a State to enforce such laws as it deems necessary to control the use of property in accordance with the general interest or to secure the payment of taxes or other contributions or penalties.”
