(1/3) Do you wait in court for a listed matter that doesn't get heard? Do you get just a day’s notice before your hearing is scheduled?

SCt: Combined effect of Arts 9(2), (3) & (4) #Aarhus is that states must ensure that proceedings in which decisions granting development consent are challenged for non-compliance with national law relating to the environment are not prohibitively expensive

#SLAPPs 🧵: Deputy PM @DominicRaab is due to announce TODAY a consultation (open till 19 May) on proposals to address SLAPPs in the #UK, in order to prevent the misuse of laws to suppress acts of public participation 1/ independent.co.uk/news/uk/politi…
This goes further than the expected announcement for a 'call for evidence' that was rumoured a week ago, when Foreign Secretary @trussliz also reportedly "told government lawyers to “find literally any way” to crack down on #SLAPPs" 2/ theguardian.com/world/2022/mar…
The proposals up for consultation are understood to range from strengthening legislation to introducing new court checks. Possible measures would enable courts to throw out #SLAPP claims earlier in proceedings & impose Civil Restraint Orders to stop repeated legal challenges. 3/
Opening this thread to give first hand account how @RBI handles online complaints, banking ombudsman cases, etc. This thread would discuss about the ODR Request created against @ICICIBank, to which RBI and ICICI Bank are parties. #DigitalIndia @DasShaktikanta @FinMinIndia @PTLB
No action has been taken by @RBI for ODR Dispute against @ICICIBank filed at @ODRIndia Portal since 08-01-2022. #DigitalEconomy would remain a dream only in India in these circumstances. #DigitalIndia @FinMinIndia @DasShaktikanta
As almost 2 months have elapsed without even acknowledgement, it is safe to presume that Banking Ombudsman system of @RBI has collapsed and is an ineffective, time consuming and unproductive option. The @ODRIndia resolves such issues within 3 months. #DigitalIndia @DasShaktikanta
Opening this thread to give first hand account how @DelhiPolice handles online complaints, First Information Reports (FIRs), police investigations, etc. This thread would discuss about the ODR Request created against Mr. M. Kumar, to which Delhi Police is a party. #DigitalIndia
I have sent all relevant and concerned details of the ODR Request to you with complete ODR Request through DM. We hope @DelhiPolice would cooperate with @ODRIndia Portal to do complete justice. #DigitalIndia #IndiaAt75 #LegalTech
The rationale of @ODRIndia Portal and its functioning has been duly communicated to @DelhiPolice. Let us see whether DP also agrees with us regarding #AccessToJustice and reducing burden upon Police and Judiciary. #DigitalIndia #IndiaAt75 #LegalTech
Govt portal without trained and committed manpower is like a gun without bullets. You can use it for showcase only without any actual benefit or purpose. But @ODRIndia Portal responds back in 24 hours and resolve all disputes in 3 months odrindia.in/odr/. #DigitalIndia
Interoperability and technology neutrality are two other major problems with Indian govtś portals. They are build for a specific purpose and specific model only and cannot operate in conjunction with other technologies and portals, including simple e-mails. #DigitalIndia @PTLB
Take the examples of @RBI (Banking Ombudsman) and @DelhiPolice (Case Reporting). Both failed on the front of acknowledgement, reporting, pursuing and taking actual action. One sided communication is the main feature of all Govt portals in India and that is terrible. #DigitalIndia
Last week ImmDef's Directing Attorney of our Cross-Border Initiative in San Diego, @CargioliM, was in court on the first day of resumed MPP 2.0 hearings to observe. This thread details what she witnessed. #EndMPP #RestoreAsylumNow #WelcomeWithDignity #AccessToJustice
Asylum seekers in MPP only have from 10 to 12 to potentially meet w/ lawyers on their day in court. That is if they can find a lawyer willing to represent them while being forced to remain in Tijuana, one of the most dangerous cities in the world. #DueProcess #AccessToCounsel
On the first day of MPP court in San Diego since the Biden administration decided to resume the deadly program, there are two judges hearing 7 cases. In the days and weeks ahead these numbers will sadly increase as more and more human beings are placed into MPP.

An application went to Board in August 2020, but a further round on consultation was triggered given changes made to the Irish legislation for this process to address issues identified in a Supreme Court ruling in July 1 in case taken by An Taisce. But ....
Despite the fact the Oireachtas had required in primary legislation the new info to be made available online by An Bord Pleanala they didn't do so for over 3 weeks of a 5 week consultation - buried in height of August holiday period & weeks after the issue was highlighted to them
Judge Collins:
Citizens had been left to become “private law enforcers”, going to court to make the State apply the laws “often at considerable risk to their own financial safety”.

As @codohertynews notes, ‘His comments come at a time when the Government is considering restrictions to make it *more difficult* to take legal challenges.’
Incredible but true.

It is a constant wonder to observe the power of certain lobby groups over our legislature. Their needs are rapidly met while others objectively more pressing are delayed.

Watching the #Stansted15 appeal today, extending solidarity on behalf of @LSWUnited and @blkprotestlegal. @bencsmoke live tweeting the proceedings and I’ll be posting some updates too. Clare Montgomery QC currently setting out the grounds on behalf of the appellants.
The language of the Act should be interpreted restrictively. The offence is one of the utmost seriousness, carrying a potential life sentence and subject to universal jurisdiction.
Immense concerns raised about the chilling effect these convictions have on legitimate public protest. The ramifications of applying terrorism related legislation in this context could mean those supporting/encouraging the #Stansted15’s actions are also caught in the same web
I have worked & advocated against extra-judicial killings #EJKs by @policeNG for over 3 decades. In 2012, when I put out figures on #EJKs by @policeNG, the reaction of @NigeriaGov was to order my arrest. Today, we remain on #EndSARS.

10 yrs ago, @OSFJustice released a rpt on @policeNG under the title #CriminalForce. I worked on that. It detailed a culture of wasting human life under a chapter titled "A Human Abbatoir". Despite our best efforts with @policereformNG, few ppl took notice. We're still in #EndSARS
Sick of #Golfgate? This long thread will (I hope) make u question this Gov & shout #DitchPippaHackettsBill It's on what's wrong with her bill & to urge u make a sub b4 5pm Fri 28th August if u care about #climate #nature #water #AccessToJustice #Forestry #community #HenHarrier

In 2005, I set up a business selling CDs, namely mixtape CDs after graduating from Uni.
In 2006, my home was raided & my business was stopped. They said the CDs I was selling were in breach of copyright.
In 2006, my home was raided & my business was stopped. They said the CDs I was selling were in breach of copyright.
It was a complete shock as the exact same CDs I was selling were prevalent on most high streets and supermarkets. They were selling in their thousands in places such as #Tesco & #HMV. And #Woolworths were the actual UK Distributor of these CDs.
What a show #LALY2020! @FionaBawdon @APPGLegalAid @ChrisLAPG @KateLAPG @BeckFitzgerald @MaryRachel_McC Nicola @macklawlondon @AnnaJonesSky @david_challen and everyone involved - that was magnificent! 1/12
So many remarkable stories of remarkable people doing remarkable work. That aspect of the LALYs is always so moving every year. 2/12
But as my new friend @SpikeNorman said later, this year many friends and family will have got to know why their mate or family member with the weird job - 'what is it they do again? Like a lawyer but no money, is that it?' - do what they do. 3/12
Usually, I tweet my Law in Rural America course @UMichLaw on Weds, but this week 2 students created FANTASTIC threads outlining what we're working on 👉🏻 Rural #LegalAid + #AccessToJustice. Read the threads, then ask @mvrleegoskv + @HannahPaton12 any Qs you may have! 💯 1/
First up, check out this super informative thread from @mvrleegoskv discussing articles from @lisareneepruitt and Hannah Haksgaard👇🏻 #WomenAlsoKnowLaw #RuralLaw #A2J 2/
Then, read this fantastic content from @HannahPaton12 who also contextualizes the academic readings with media sources for you to read. 🙌🏻 #WomenAlsoKnowLaw #RuralLaw #A2J (3/3 from me)
So for the last few months I have been exploring setting up a dedicated #Housing advice centre for #Suffolk. It is undeniable that due to the lack of #LegalAid provision in the county and the increase in people seeking specialist advice that a housing advice centre is desirable.
Whilst speaking to people about this a question that has been raised a number of times is “why are you not still providing specialist housing advice at @midsuffolkcab?” A good question that really does need answering so here goes.
This was me just over 7 months ago, happy #volunteering for @midsuffolkcab as a housing adviser and running a general advice outreach service at Wattisham. I was busy, the role stressful but for the most part I was throughly enjoying being part of something that I believed in.
The reaction to this offer has not been uniformly positive. Some feel strongly about the tradition and the majesty that accompanies the in-court oath. Let me say a bit more about why, while I agree, I still think we should be expanding our options. A thread. 1/
First: I love an in-courtroom swearing in of a new member of the bar. It moves me every time. Michigan’s oath, in particular, is demanding and specific and reminds us of the very best of our profession. I took my first oath in an appellate courtroom. I still remember it. 2/
Brief detour: @MIStateBar let’s look at a group swearing in a couple of times a year at the @MISupremeCourt. A time when anyone who wants to can come and be sworn in together in our courtroom, taking the oath together. Other states do this. It’s powerful. And open to all. 3/

It's a criminal offence to falsifying a legal instrument. But if the #MetPolice / #LBRUT do it, then there is not even an investigation. 12 years of silence. Evidence to prove it - ukcoverup.com/search-warrant-

Today in the county court I represented a real-life #DanielBlake. He is 51 and has depression and PTSD. He cannot use a computer. 1/13
According to his doctor he is not fit for work. The DWP thinks otherwise though, and since moving him from ESA to #universalcredit 2/13
He has been repeatedly sanctioned for failing his ‘Claimant commitment’ of job-searching for 35 hours per week. 3/13
