G.  The Law

The chapters below illustrate an untrained party litigant's appreciation  of current legal practice in Scotland. 

Scottish legal procedure seeks to do justice. I argue that justice has  three dimensions by which it should be measured -- the dimension of truth: rectitude of decision; the time dimension; and the cost dimension.

Unfortunately these three dimensions are not entirely complementary and  I regret I believe that the compromise currently reached in Scotland is  wrong on account of poor priority ranking prompted and sanctioned by vested interests.

As to the site's temporary absence from the net I must admit some surprise for as to date but one small complaint/correction had been tendered. Maybe, it was the prospect of the planned future articles that prompted such draconian steps by the Scottish and British establishment personages.

Well, in an effort not to disappoint our increasing readership it has been decided to host the site offshore, such facilitated from the numerous offers of support and web hosting from friends abroad.
At the Court of Session on Tuesday 14th December 2004
I was accused of impersonating a Writer to the Signet (a form of Scottish solicitor) in  terms of the new web address of 'martinfrost.ws'.

This is totally untrue for  'ws' in every day ordinary speech simply refers to web site, which is registered in Western Samoa.
This site was prompted by the Scottish Accountant in Bankruptcy, a public government official. That said on 26th October 2004 I was obliged to sell my website off-shore.   Contents are © MMVIII
