Lack of development in Romeo and Juliet case.

endakenny

Why has the Supreme Court not yet heard the appeal against the High Court's ruling on the Romeo and Juliet case? The future of a young man is at stake. Therefore, this should get priority. I'm aware that the previous thread on this case is locked.

In that case you won't be too suprised when this one is.

I'm sure it will be kept open as long as there's no "This is all the feminazis' fault" stuff resorted to...

Feminazis........... I like it.

Did you all see the forensic reconstruction on TV? Some of that dialogue sounded a little unrealistic, I thought. I mean, who talks like this?

But, soft! what light through yonder window breaks?
It is the east, and Juliet is the sun!

Did Romeo not top himself? I don't think the outcome of the case matters to him much if he's 6ft under!!!

You know that this thread is not about Shaksespeare's play. It's about the case concerning the Sex Offences Act 2006.

Theres a long waiting list?

Unless its up to the Government, in which case they'll do the Irish thing and hope it just goes away by doing nothing about it...

There must be. Given that this matter concerns sex offence legislation, it's a great deal more serious than loans to property developers. Judge Frank Clarke was assigned to the Romeo and Juliet case but was replaced by a female judge because he had to adjudicate on the Liam Carroll. People like Carroll are clogging up the legal system. He should have been declared a vexatious litigant.

Use it wisely - as in, when it's deserved (man-hating, bitterness towards other women etc) rather than when a woman points out unfairness in relation to the treatment of a particular woman or women.

A boy and a girl, both underage, had sex. He's been charged, the girl has not been charged because legislation exempts her in order to protect pregnant girls from stigmatisation. The boy is challenging the legislation in the courts. The High Court ruled against him.

Mosley successfully sued a tabloid for alleging that his orgy had a Nazi theme.

I wouldn't even dream of it. Unless I got a few giggles coupled with a dirty look or two and some hands put onto hips. It's alright then right?

Meh, I'm sure most criminal cases that go before the Supreme Court are considered a priority by those they involve.

There is only one Supreme Court, and tbh its time is limited. It can only hear so many cases.
