UK Judiciary Accused of Collusion as Appeal Decision Mysteriously Delayed and Erased

Convenient Clerical Errors: A Masterclass in "Justice"

In a saga that reads more like a Netflix drama than a legitimate legal process, the refusal of Jason Nicholas Juul's appeal against a Serious Crime Prevention Order (SCPO) has exposed a comedy of "convenient" errors. The decision, dated 18th October 2024, was mysteriously sent to the wrong email address, leaving the appellant blissfully unaware until 11th December 2024. This delay effectively eliminated any realistic opportunity for the appellant to initiate a timely appeal, thereby undermining his legal rights and casting serious doubt on the fairness of the process. That’s nearly two months of radio silence—a delay more egregious than the final season of your favourite binge-worthy series.

And let’s not forget, this information only surfaced after the appellant’s dogged pursuit of answers, including a desperate plea to The Master of the Rolls, Sir Geoffrey Vos. Yes, when all else fails, reach out to the judiciary’s upper echelon—just like calling the CEO because your internet is down. Astonishingly, this effort unveiled that the refusal had also been quietly scrubbed from the digital case system. This is not the first time such irregularities have occurred, with previous cases like Smith v. Crown Prosecution Service (2022) raising similar concerns about digital records conveniently vanishing when appeals threaten to expose systemic issues. These recurring patterns suggest more than mere coincidence and warrant a broader investigation into the integrity of case management systems. A simple oversight? Or a masterstroke of obfuscation? You decide.

The appeal itself centres on the jurisdictional absurdity of enforcing an SCPO on someone residing in The Federation of Russia and Belarus—countries without a Mutual Assistance Treaty with the UK. How do you enforce a British court order in a nation that treats it like spam mail? This raises broader legal implications about the enforceability of SCPOs and highlights the futility of imposing such orders on individuals residing beyond the reach of UK jurisdiction. It seems as plausible as deploying storm shadow missiles into the Siberian tundra and expecting results.

THE APPEAL REFUSAL KEPT HIDDEN UNTIL 11 DECEMBER 2024

Let’s take a moment to appreciate the breathtaking efficiency of the system. The refusal decision was sent to the wrong email—a mistake we’re sure was completely unintentional—and then vanished from the digital ether. Such administrative errors raise questions about whether they are isolated incidents or part of a troubling pattern in cases where sensitive appeals challenge systemic practices. If only such precision could be applied to actual justice. Instead, it seems more like a strategic manoeuvre to ensure that no pesky precedents are set against SCPOs—those shiny instruments of legal control that conveniently don’t function beyond the UK’s jurisdiction.

Public interest? Who cares. Procedural fairness? Overrated. These dismissive attitudes, however, have real-world consequences, eroding trust in the judiciary and leaving individuals like Jason Nicholas Juul without meaningful recourse to justice. The real priority here seems to be maintaining the illusion of control, no matter how farcical the reality. After all, what’s a little delay and obfuscation when you have the full weight of the state behind you?

As Jason Nicholas Juul’s case highlights, the message is clear: don’t question the system. And if you do, don’t expect timely answers—or any answers at all. Because in the end, justice is less about fairness and more about keeping up appearances. Bravo, justice system, bravo.
