The Woolf reforms have not worked, I know I became one of the first victims of such in October 1999…..

SECTION 55 OF THE ACCESS TO JUSTICE ACT 1999 NEEDS TO BE REPEALED, SINCE WHEN LITIGANTS IN PERSON REQUEST THE PART 7 OR PART 8 CLAIM FORM TO BE ASSIGNED TO A HIGH COURT JUDGE, THE COURT OFFICER NORMALLY REFUSES AND INSISTS THAT THE MATTER SHALL BE PLACED BEFORE A MASTER.

THE PROCEEDS OF CRIME ACT 2002, THE TIME LIMIT IS A PERIOD OF 20 YEARS, WHILST PERMISSION TO APPEAL IS NOT REQUIRED, BUT LITIGANTS IN PERSON ARE REQUIRED TO APPLY FOR PERMISSION TO APPEAL

There is a House of Lords Judgment that Advocates have no Immunity whether Civil or Criminal Proceedings, and by Taking Legal Proceedings against the Barristers Advocates does not mean that the Person is Vexatious or Harassing the Barrister, when Section 2, 15, 16 of the Domicile and Matrimonial Proceedings Act 1973 was repealed under the Family Law Act 1986, and the Court had no Power to dismiss a Petition under Section 55 (1) (d) of the Family Law Act 1986
I thank you in advance and wait to hear from you
