The 2010 edition of Stone's Justices' Manual, section 1-382: Magistrates' Court procedure relating to jurisdiction, it
lays down the remit of a Magistrates Court, namely:
1. To try any summary offence.
2. As examining justices over any offence committed by a person who appears or is brought before the court.
3. Subject to SS 18-22 of the Magistrates' Courts Act 1980, to try summarily any offence which is tryable either
way.
4. In the exercise of its powers under s 24 of the Magistrates' Courts Act 1980 to try summarily an indictable
offence.
A Liability Hearing does not fall under any of those areas of remit, so it appears that a magistrates Court is not
legally permitted to hold liability Hearings nor to issue Liability Orders. Consequently, any such Order issued by
your court is invalid and no person is legally entitled to base their actions on any such Order.
I urge you therefore, to stop holding any such Liability hearings and issuing Liability Orders until such time as the
law is changed and such matter then become legal.
Sincerely and without ill will, vexation or frivolity,
Patrick: of the Kelly family
Without any acceptance of any liability whatsoever, and with all Indefeasible Rights reserved.
