An all star cast, featuring Ashley Brown as the then District Planning officer. Ian Kay, his sidekick henchman, as the Assistant District Planning Officer. David Phillips as the Chief Enforcement Officer, with a peculiar penchant for collecting hair samples from sinks. Derek Holness as the Chief Executive who retired on an enhanced pension for his part in the alleged conspiracy. Doug Moss as the planning and then policy officer for Wealden. Christine Nuttall, as the solicitor working with Victorio Scarpa, to bury the fictional, Victor von Woolfe, and hide the truth about the fictional historic building, water pumping station near Herstmonceux village, they knew all about in secret session, but decided not to admit, in conspiring to abuse the rights of the then owner. Which meant not following procedure, and lying the the Secretary of State and his planning Inspectors.

The all star cast also includes Trevor Scott as the head of legal services, who became the council's Chief Executive. Probably, because nobody else in their right mind would get involved in such an allegedly corrupt local authority. Trevor Scott was involved in the negotiations including Daniel Goodwin and (then) Councillor Andrew Long, where this council would sweep a costs award under the table, and obtain consent for the historic building to be residentially occupied lawfully. But, it was not to be. The offer was simply a ruse. The moment an engagement to a Masonic cabinet member was called off, The deal was called off. That was when they decided to frame Victor von Woolfe for a crime he did not commit. The object being the bury their adversary. With Sussex police being only too willing to soil their hands again.

Trevor Scott is alleged to have conspired with other officers of the Wealden District Council to cause loss and harm, contrary to the provisions of the Fraud Act 2006, and other statute and common law, in the Eastbourne County Court, of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth, between 2003 and 2005.

In or about 2003, Wealden District Council served Notice on Victor von Woolfe claiming some £26,000 in costs in relation to a case where this local authority sought to deprive those working at the Pump House of canteen, toilet and washing facilities. The case was first heard in the High Court, The Strand, in London in 1997. This was before Justice Steele, a lady judge who was (presumably and it is alleged) obviously used to rubber stamp Orders from councils. And equally obviously did not have the foggiest idea about human rights, or the Health & Safety Regulations.

For, Justice Steel was in a hurry, apparently to keep a hairdressing appointment. Clearly, more important than violating anyone's rights under the Human Rights Act 1998, or Universal Declaration. Also, Victor was to be banned from the entire Wealden district, an outcast, with no right to occupy any structure, building or mobile home. Have you ever heard of such a thing? But this is a true account of what happened. And, Trevor Scott was involved at the back end of negotiations, to resolve a counter-claim.

But first, you need to know that Victor appealed from the High Court to the Appeal Court. He had been granted Legal Aid for a barrister in the first hearing. But, his barrister was just as under-informed as Justice Steele. No wits about him, and clearly unprepared to argue anything other than what WC had written on their Claim.

Victor's lady friend at the time was represented by her own barrister, and she did not appear to understand the law any better than Justice Steele or Victor's male barrister. It was like the blind leading the blind.

To pump up costs, Wealden had made sure to populate the court with just about every spare body they could muster, the aim being to use any financial advantage gained, to bankrupt their victim. Why else would so many solicitors, clerks and council staff be in attendance? Most of them holding back from laughing, as their target was hauled over the legal coals.

Thus, in 1998, Victor appealed in person to the Court of Appeal. He was armed with a letter from the Healthy & Safety Executive, confirming that the companies, businesses, or whoever was operating from the premises, were required by law to install: Canteen, Toilets and Washing facilities. Separate facilities for males and females.

It transpired that the Order of Justice Steele was unlawful.

The case continued before a famous Judge, Dame Butler-Sloss. Well known for the Diana, Princess of Wales Inquiry.

Dame Butler-Sloss was a canny woman, she realised right away that her friend in the court below had erred in law. Whoops!

How then to extricate her colleague, make herself look as impartial as she might, and try to prevent another appeal to the Supreme Court.

The appellant in person, sought to introduce the letter from the H&S Executive. But Butler-Sloss immediately saw the danger of that. Telling him to "keep that letter in your back pocket." Somewhat taken aback at the obvious plan to disarm his case, Victor quoted as much of the Regulations as the Judge would allow. She was seen smiling at the council staff sitting behind and on Victor's right.

The end result was that Victor would pay half the costs of the court below, which amounted to £26,000. Then crafty old Dame Butler-Sloss said: "Presumably, once you have complied with the order of the court below. Then, you [your landlord] can re-install the facilities to comply with the Health and Safety Regulations."

Amusing as this is inasmuch as the law is an ass, that left Victor and the council with unfinished business. A massive legal bill looming, of some £26,000 pounds. Costs that had been manufactured by way of a SLAPP action, seeking to prevent any use at all of a historic building. But still a Court Order. And you cannot ignore a legitimate document like that.

Almost immediately, Victor removed all the plumbing, canteen facilities, etc. Inviting Wealden's enforcement officer and solicitor to pay a visit to confirm he had complied with the Order of Judge Dame Butler-Sloss. You should here note that he did so under protest. Since the order in itself appeared to be more of the Abuse of Process, ordered by Justice Steele.

Wealden then embarked on delaying tactics. Refusing to visit the premises to inspect the work had been completed. They kept this up for quite a while, when Victor realised their ploy would be to never find the time to confirm compliance.

He thus sent a letter informing WC, that they had 28 days in which to inspect, or reinstallation would commence.

Some six weeks later, WC's Christine Nuttall sought arrange a date for inspection. Rather too late as she well knew. Victor reminded her of the letter sent to her council.

Predictably, solicitor Nuttall, denied receipt of the letter. Fortunately, Victor foresaw her tactics, sending by Recorded Post. He copied her the Recorded Delivery slip.

Was that the end of the matter. Not on your life ...... But the law is a double edged sword ....

CODES OF CONDUCT

In all this you may be wondering if there are any Codes of Conduct, that someone legally qualified must adhere to. Surely, no solicitor or barrister can be party to an illegal vendetta? You might imagine that such involvement might bar a person from practicing .......

MAGISTRATES COURTS 2020 - 2023

..... to make Orders that he knew, or ought to have known were bogus, by way of multiple SLAPP actions over some four years at least.

It is also alleged that as the Chief Executive officer, having a watching brief in all departments returning to him, whenever there was any communication from Victot, Trevor Scott was party to the efforts of Michael Wakeford, together with the Clerk to the Court, who worked together to deprive their victim of his right to a fair hearing, thus perverting the course of justice, and violating Article 6 HRA98. Knowing full well that the Magistrates Court as constructed did not constitute any kind of Court where impartiality is an essential ingredient, but rather, the court and the Clerk is hired by the Council for the express purpose of obtaining psuedo (artificial or pretend) Orders, that do not follow procedural rules, or the requirements of the Magistrates Courts Act 1980. You'll not be surprised to learn, there there is no right of appeal in such actions.

This applies to the Magistrates and those appearing for the Council, which includes Mr Wakeford and the Clerk to the Court, in relation to Section 44, 45 & 46:

44 Aiders and abettors

(1) A person who aids, abets, counsels or procures the commission by another person of a summary offence shall be guilty of the like offence and may be tried (whether or not he is charged as a principal) either by a court having jurisdiction to try that other person or by a court having by virtue of his own offence jurisdiction to try him.

(2) Any offence consisting in aiding, abetting, counselling or procuring the commission of an offence triable either way (other than an offence listed in Schedule 1 to this Act) shall by virtue of this subsection be triable either way.

45 Incitement

(1)Any offence consisting in the incitement to commit a summary offence shall be triable only summarily.

(2) Subsection (1) above is without prejudice to any other enactment by virtue of which any offence is triable only summarily.

(3) On conviction of an offence consisting in the incitement to commit a summary offence a person shall be liable to the same penalties as he would be liable to on conviction of the last-mentioned offence.

46 Corporations

The provisions of Schedule 3 to this Act shall have effect where a corporation is charged with an offence before a magistrates' court. 

Wealden District Council is a corporation. That this council would seek to abuse their position as a local authority, and seek to use the premises in a way that is itself a triable offence, is an affront to justice.

This is thought to be part of the cover-up efforts on the part of this local authority, in the ongoing vendetta first orchestrated by Ashley Brown, Ian Kay, Victorio Scarpa, Christine Nuttall and others. Where their is a clear duty to Blow the Whistle, the duty of all decent honest people, to one another. Rather, than be bribed to remain silent (hear no, see no evil), with enhanced pension packages or other remuneration, allegedly constituting bribery, on the part of those offering the reward for keeping mum, and those accepting payment, as they become conspirators.

Typically, staff and members become conspirators by way of the completion of a Non Disclosure Agreement (NDA) as a condition of employment, thus working together to procure or prevent the discovery and prosecution of such offences, in contravention of the The Accessories and Abettors Act 1861, now The Criminal Law Act 1967, and Part 2 of the Serious Crime Act 2007, which creates, at sections 44 to 46, three inchoate offences of intentionally encouraging or assisting an offence; encouraging or assisting an offence believing it will be committed; and encouraging or assisting offences believing one or more will be committed.

The moment staff and council members agree not to communicate with their victim, or otherwise render assistance in connection with the cover up of institutional discrimination, they become bribed conspirators.

Some local authorities in the United Kingdom are notoriously corrupt. The Wealden District Council has been identified as one of the worst, because of its appalling human rights record, lack of accountability & transparency, and almost total lack of genuinely affordable housing.

The idea being to make officers and councillors representing renting landlords, as rich as possible, in as short a time as possible. Also, with enhanced pension packages, including paying heating bills for staff working from home at the rate (tax) payer's expense, well past the Covid fiasco that saw procurement fraud rise to astronomical levels, along with the National Debt. Including council's borrowing more than they can afford to repay, generating a spiral, where the ordinary working person is taxed more, and cannot afford to live. With councils neglecting to build genuinely affordable housing, to assuage parliamentary landlords. Despite the cost of housing the homeless in temporary accommodation - again - at the taxpayers expense.

Until such matters are dealt with, the UK is held to be "up shit creek without a paddle."

You might care too agree, the so-called "planning" departments in many councils, could not organise a piss-up, in a brewery. The problem being that no political party, and certainly no British Prime Minister in recent years, appears to have had the stomach to rout out corruption. More the opposite, with the likes of Tony Blair, Lord David Cameron and Boris Johnson, the only hope being the fictional character Honest Edward John Thomas. Otherwise known as 'Honest Johnson.'

Corruption lurks in every corridor of local and national buildings. Queen Elizabeth was asked for help. She declined. The duty to provide an effective remedy, now rests with King Charles. 

Incompatibility in Human Rights terms, is where one statute does not comply with HR statute. The European Convention does include Article 13, the right to an effective remedy.

The United Kingdom does not yet have a Written Constitution, leaving the justice system open to abuse via the honours system. [R v Sussex Justices 1924] Without justice being available to the ordinary man in the street, fairly, impartially and affordably, Britain can never truly be great again, or hold it's head high on the international stage.
