Musings and Snippets from a recently retired JP. I served for 31 years, mostly in west London. I was Chairman of my Bench for some years, and a member of the National Bench Chairmen's Forum All cases are based on real ones, but anonymised and composited. All opinions are those of one or more individuals. JPs swear to enforce the law of the land, whether or not they approve of it. Nothing on here constitutes legal advice.

What Happens Now?
This horrible accident involved an unattended car rolling into and killing a passer-by. What now? By the logic of the new law on causing death by careless or inconsiderate driving the fact that a death occurred should surely render the driver who (presumably) failed to set the handbrake properly liable to imprisonment, despite the relatively trivial nature of the carelessness.
