We were defrauded out of a bassoon valued at around £2500 by a crooked music shop that knew they were closing down. It was still our property. In effect, stolen.
The people that were owed £20,000 were mentioned by the court. We were not even noticed.
NO, I do not trust the #judges, the #magistrates, whatever they are, to give the smaller people a FAIR judicial result.

"Twelve warrants were checked at random from the stack of 131 applications. Two failed, ten passed, and then 129 warrants were approved en masse."
So most likely, they mass approved 21 warrants they should have refused. This is not how the Courts should be operating.

@ExtinctionR the usual directive to #magistrates is to modify a sentence downwards if the original sentence is unworkable. If no other factors are involved then #prison would not be an option otherwise it would have been imposed or suspended at the first instance.
