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.

This Might Be Interesting Next Time Round
I am grateful to Exlex, who is a new kid on the blogging block, for this appeal result. The (rather splendidly-named) DJ didn't find that there were no special reasons, if I read aright, but rather refused to hear the argument at all. So now both sides will instruct expert witnesses and we shall all learn whether belching, to which the most delicate of us may fall victim when drink has been taken, can move alcohol from the stomach in such a way as to influence an Intoximeter reading. The lucky bench, lay or professional, that rehears this will find itself with a lifelong knowledge of the minutiae of the eructative process.
