We the undersigned petition the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom to reform the court and legal services to stop the discrimination and corruption taking place in the service and particularly against less financially fortunate service users and that such reform should be as follows:


1 That an independent judicial commission be setup with powers to investigate and try any officer of the UK Supreme Court, Court and legal services for allege abuse of powers and abuse of their position, on or off the bench, or in retirement where the allegation is made in writing and made by any citizen of the United Kingdom or an adult person with legal right of abode in the UK, and supported by documentary evidence. We believe an independent judicial commission is urgently needed and its powers should include:


2. The removal of the right of immunity from civil law suit from those officers of the UK Supreme Court, court and legal services including tribunal chairman, the conciliation service (ACAS), ombudsman services and their staff if found guilty of abuse of power and or abuse of their position. As it relates to legal representatives, to include barristers and solicitors and wide enough to give the commission the powers to deal with allege breach of client and solicitors privilege; breach of trust; breach of confidence; professional negligence; and or using his or her position to take or gain an unfair advantage for himself or herself or for the client of the opposing side and discrimination in the provision of services.

3 That the current UK access to justice laws be amended to allow for where the claimant or defendant cannot afford to pay upfront 'legal and court costs' that he or she be provided with full legal aid in all cases and that this provision made inclusive to people who are statutory disabled, pensioners, low paid employed, the unemployed and in receipt of state benefits and those having right of abode in the UK and are at risk of losing their liberty without proper professional legal advice and representation in all situation.


4 That the government set up a legal insurance contributory scheme to ensure that all citizens going before the court and tribunal (both civil and criminal court) have proper and professional legal advice and representation without having to compromise their legal rights unnecessarily.


5 That the Human Rights Act be amended to require all court and judicial proceedings, compromise negotiation meetings, disciplinary proceedings, and meetings involving and leading to the repossession of properties to be video tape recorded by the court service, public bodies and all companies conducting such proceedings; in addition to the parties right to audio record the proceedings, unconditionally, as a back up measure and to make such record admissible in evidence.


6 That the government take steps to repeal the relevant section of the court management rule that allows either party to legal proceeding to put in an application to strike out the opposing side claim or defence. This rule is being abuse by corrupt officers of the court including many solicitors and barristers who often use the rule in a corrupt and discriminatory manner to suppress the claim or defence of the financially weaker party to legal proceedings. This particular rule also contravene section 6 of the Human Right Act 1998 which provides that each party to legal proceeding have a right to be heard and a fair hearing.
