It is inevitable that, having been a magistrate for so many years, this blog will contain a fair bit of comment on legal matters, including those cases which came before me in court. However, it is not restricted to such and may at times stray ‘off-topic’ and into whatever area interests me at the time.

All comments are moderated but sensible and relevant ones, even critical ones, are welcome; trolling and abuse is not and will be blocked.

Any actual case that was once involved in, and upon which I may comment, will be altered in such a way as to make it completely unidentifiable.

Some Good Excuses?

I was amused reading the latest briefing note from the TV Licensing Authority to see what the latest excuses were for not having a TV licence.

“I’ve got no TV licence because when I called TV Licensing they refused to barter with me. Everything should be up for negotiation”.

“My house was invaded by a squirrel which wee-ed on my TV so now it doesn’t work properly”.

“I don’t watch the television, I just use it as a light in the dark”.

Wish we got excuses like that in court, it would certainly brighten my day!
