The Flame Pit / Re: The need for a Higher Tribunal
« on: February 26, 2026, 03:46:02 pm »I'd like to see the tribunal open to some basic outside checks on its decisions
That would be a fairly (perhaps completely) unique proposition. I’m not aware of any other judicial body that has its decisions subject to “outside checks” absent an appeal or JR.

My view is “don’t take legal advice from cops” (hint: they’re not lawyers).
Or to put it another way, he’s talking out of his hoop.

I see the point of my post has eluded most people.

Another (mis)use of a public spaces protection order? I’m not sure they have the vires to require the production of proof (i.e. you must produce a poo bag on demand). It’s ridiculous.

I’m yet to be convinced that a person assigned a company vehicle for a few hours becomes “the person keeping the vehicle” in terms of the statute.

Speeding and other criminal offences / Re: Use of mobile phone potentially leading to a totting up ban & conflicting legal advice!
« on: February 08, 2026, 10:43:18 pm »Have you read the thread, or did you just incontinently post?Did you hold the phone at any point whilst also using it and driving? And perhaps more importantly, if you put the prosecution to proof, could they prove that you did?Cycling Mikey will have a video recording and, as noted, isn't shy in attending court.

« on: February 08, 2026, 09:41:16 pm »The thing is, you only have a contract with the seller so I imagine any action you might take against the courier must be under tort.Well, yes, but the point Andy keeps making is that the trader is probably not in the jurisdiction, or in any jurisdiction where an English judgment will readily be enforced. So what is the point in suing the trader?

Let’s just start with my personal view that Cycling Mikey is a c***.
The obvious issue with the prosecution evidence at the moment seems to be that you didn’t hold the phone in your hand, and would presumably give evidence to that effect. CM might say that you didn’t hold but his video doesn’t show that. That has the makings of a defence (or rather, an issue for the prosecution in proving an element of the offence).
The idea of pleading guilty to a lesser offence is a valid one and may have legs if the prosecution can’t reliably get a conviction for the mobile phone offence.

The duty to stop and report applies to accidents on a road or other public place.

I don’t see any substantive difference. You’ll have to explain what you think the difference is.
