Debbie Purdy won, and I am pleased there is going to be some clarification in the Law from the DPP
BUT
Andre Power lost
I lost! Mr Justice Blair agreed with the defendants that the case should be dismissed because agents/servants of the Crown who are negligent in their duties are not liable in law, so they can do what they like and we have no recourse. Does anyone see the bitter irony in this? The Ministry of Justice at The Royal Courts of Justice won by arguing that Justice should not apply to the select elite who work for them
We officially now have a two tier legal system one for the righteous and one for the rest of us. The Crown can sue ABC Ltd or Joe Bloggs but ABC Ltd or Joe Bloggs cannot sue the Crown for negligence.
The irony of it being another Blair who made this decision.
