SEE!

'Justice of the Peace' is a bit of a misnomer I think.

My next door neighbour is one, & so far he has assaulted Mrs 4 Bee for something totally unprovoked & the coppers had to be called & bruising photographed, but he squirmed his way out of that one. They made the comment to us "he is a strange unit".

Some years ago, when I innocently requested he note the corner Survey Peg when he was laying a new bitumised driveway, he immeditely wanted to have a poke at me & started dancing around like a bloody goose waving his fists under my nose, wanting to know if I wanted to "have a go".

Of course, I just laughed at him & walked away. Since the assault on Mrs Bee, we believe he is responsible for ripping out 50' of new S & L front fencing.

Is Anger Management included as part of the JP course P38A? If so, I think he needs retraining.

I wonder if he could be stripped of the JP as not being a fit and proper person? He doesn't sound like he is one.

In NSW, it used to be that a JP appointment was for life. That is being changed so that it is for a set term.

Ron

If he is charged & found guilty of an offence, then yes he can be stripped of the position. I believe that moves are afoot here to make them short term appointments, but whether that will be for new appoinments only, I don't know.

Have spoken to the Department of Justice when the assault happened, but not given names. Yet.


What goes around comes around.


PS Do you know some big handy lads who play baseball?

Yes Ron I am one - however its a "silent" listing in on the lawlink web page - however if anyone needs a JP in the South West or Parramatta I can help.

The reason I have no number etc listed as my appintmnet is mainly for work, due to the nature of my duties it is essential i am not contactable by any joe bloggs at any time.

Also ill be passing through Lithgow on Sunday 25th if that helps Ace ?

My appointment was originally for work (Telstra) - I've only witnessed one item since and that was last week, here at work.
