I hope I can raise it when WMC resurrects its user group meetings (indication is they will soon start).    Could I ask that someone volunteers to receive any complaints relating to searches (perhaps  Shofna)? One document – that way I wont lose track of the issues raised -   is that ok Shofna ?

 

On a different note I will get an update to members over the next couple of weeks.  The committee / its sub groups and past Presidents have all been working in the background.

I have witnessed a similar incident to Shofna where during a lengthy queue a person questioning the slowness of the security officers was physically removed with excessive force. I myself have been spoken to quite rudely. They seem to have a overly defensive pack mentality which does a disservice to the court.

Dear Shofna

 

Funny you should say that – Mark past Pres raised it and I have tried to get this resolved.   I had a reply this morning from MOJ asking for input from HMCTS.  Basically MOJ will not fund it as we have to be Terrorism cleared.   

 

I will keep at it – it is in my interest as you know – I go through the humiliation of taking my laptop out opening it to show I haven’t hidden something it daily / twice daily. 

 

Regards

Fadi

Subject: LCCSA court users cards and entry to courts

 

Dear members,

 

I know this has been raised before but does anyone know why with a court users card we are unable to gain access to Westminster MC with relative ease and speed.

 

Instead we are waiting a long time in a lengthy queue to gain entry. The over jealous security here not only ask " certain" people to empty their bags item by item ( I had the pleasure today!). I witnessed only one person searching despite many hanging around and when one defendant asked them to hurry up, about 10 of them physically removed him at the front door which in my opinion was excessive and unwarranted. No doubt a warrant ,now issued for his non attendance.

 

I questioned their "selective" searching and also the quality of their searches ( on the basis that i attend the court often and at times my small compact mirror is not taken from me and sometime it it!). 

 

Please can anyone - Fadi our president do anything?

 

regards
