What Does It Mean When You Have A Mistrial?

 

There are several reasons that a judge might declare a mistrial, including a hung jury, which is when the jury can’t come to a unanimous decision. There might also be misconduct by an attorney, or improperly introduced evidence. A mistrial usually means having to start all over again.

a trial that cannot be completed or whose result has no legal value, usually because a legal mistake has been made:

1. The judge declared a mistrial after newspapersprinted a juror’s name.
3. He went on trial for the second time after the firstcase ended in a mistrial.

Once a child is proven to be ‘Gillick’ competent the child must be allowed to attend Court to give their views to a Judge. Guardians ad litem should not in any circumstance give evidence on behalf of a child that will decide the fate of the child.

The Government opened family courts up to greater media scrutiny, in response to criticism that the current set up is overly secretive in April 2009. This was approved by Parliament. Journalists are able to attend family court hearings in county courts and the High Court from 27 April 2009.

What You Should Have Asked Your Teachers About AUTHORITY

Source: Word of the week: AUTHORITY

When the word Authority is used in the name of an organization, this name usually refers to the governing body upon which such authority is vested; for example, the Northamptonshire Local Authority or the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority. It is also the right to do something.

Every Local Authority has a duty to safeguard and promote the welfare of children within its area who are in need, and insofar as this is consistent with that duty, promote the upbringing of such children by their families.

The word sovereignty indicates the supreme authority.  In matters of political and/or governmental power it was, in olden times, the authority of the King, over which no power within his realm could stand in opposition. The King’s word was the law of the land, and no one held any higher power or authority.

Local Authority Duties

Posted on January 14, 2013

The successful American Revolution displaced any authority of the King of England and supplanted it with a brand new concept — the concept of individual sovereignty, in which, for the first time in history, the individual soul enmeshed in a human body and born with unalienable rights was seen to be the ultimate source ofsovereignty. It is called “Freedom”. It is called “Liberty”. And, less often than it should be, it is called “Personal Responsibility”. It is also called “Self-governance”

Independent Inquiry Into Child Sexual Abuse | Two Preliminary Hearings To Be Held In September

Source: Child Migrants Are British Care Home Children

The Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse will hold preliminary hearings in relation to two of its investigations.

The hearings will be held in the International Dispute Resolution Centre, 70 Fleet Street, London, EC4Y 1EU. The full details of the hearings are:

• Tuesday 19 September 2017, 10.30 am – first preliminary hearing in relation to the institutional responses to child sexual abuse and exploitation facilitated by the Internet Investigation.
• Wednesday 20 September 2017, 10.30 am – further preliminary hearing in relation to the inquiry into allegations of the sexual abuse and exploitation of children residing at or attending Cambridge House Boys’ Hostel, Knowl View School, and other institutions where their placement was arranged or provided by Rochdale Borough Council.

In the internet  investigation, the Inquiry will review national policies on preventing abuse facilitated by the internet and will consider the appropriateness of the response of the National Crime Agency, its CEOP Command, and the police. The Inquiry will also investigate the policies of internet service providers, providers of online platforms, and other relevant software and communication technology companies relating to child sexual abuse, and consider the adequacy of the existing statutory and regulatory framework applicable to those organisations. The objective of the investigation is to make practical recommendations that minimise the opportunities for abuse facilitated by the internet in the future. Continue reading →

The child migration programmes were large-scale schemes in which thousands of children, many of them in the care of the state, were migrated to parts of the British Empire by various institutions in England and Wales, with the knowledge and approval of the British government.

Note 1. 

The Justice System And The Constitution

Care Proceedings are initiated under the doctrine of Civil Law.

The United Kingdom has three separate legal systems; one each for England and Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. This reflects its historical origins and the fact that both Scotland and Ireland, and later Northern Ireland, retained their own legal systems and traditions under the Acts of Union 1707 and 1800.

Judicial Accountability

Stare decisis is a legal principle by which judges are obliged to respect the precedents established by prior decisions.

“Public law is not at base about rights, even though abuses of power may and often do invade private rights; it is about wrongs – that is to say, misuses of public power.”

Note 2. 

Secretary of State for Justice

• MoJ transformation
• resourcing of the department
• functions of the Lord Chancellor
• EU exit and international business

• corporate services

He receives a salary as Lord Chancellor and is unpaid as Secretary of State for Justice.

The Law Relating To Civil Wrongs And Quasi-Contract Is Part Of The Civil Law

 

A civil wrong or wrong is a cause of action under the law of England and Wales. Tort,  breach of contract and breach of trust^[4] are types of civil wrong.  A quasi-contract (or implied-in-law contract) is a fictional contract created by courts for equitable, not contractual purposes. A quasi-contract is not an actual contract, but is a legal substitute for a contract formed to impose equity between two parties. The concept of a quasi-contract is that of a contract that should have been formed, even though in actuality it was not. It is used when a court finds it appropriate to create an obligation upon a non-contracting party to avoid injustice and to ensure fairness.

Trusts are usually created by a settlor, who gives assets to one or more trustees who undertake to use the assets for beneficiaries. Like in contract law no formality is required to make a trust, except where statute demands it (e.g. transfers of land, shares, for wills). To protect the settlor, English law demands a reasonable degree of certainty that a trust was intended. To be able to enforce the trust’s terms, the courts also require reasonable certainty about which assets were entrusted, and which people were meant to be the trust’s beneficiaries (wikipedia.org).
