I can not resist but to tell my own story of collective Judicial -
lawyer defence.
Roger J. P. Jones
GOVERNMENT MINISTERS
LAWYERS AND COURT OFFICERS BLATANT CORRUPTION
Below I set out my case which has considerable implications. Of which
Misconduct in Public Office, carries up to seven years imprisonment,
is the most serious.
MY CASE BACKGROUND
1. With next to no capital at 21 I started a pig business with 4 sows
on 60 acres of land I purchase with a 100% mortgage.
2. Over the next 17 years I built it up my pig business to 500 sows
producing 10,000 pork pigs per year., to a value of £400,000 /
£500,000 per year.
3. I was trading with Spillers farm feeds purchasing their feeds and
selling my pigs through Spillers.
4. They failed to pay me as they should, despite numerous promises to
do so. I calculated they owed me £35,000.
5. I called my Solicitor and Accountant to my farm. It was decided to
go for a Receiving Order that day, Thursday 30 March 1978, in order to
force Spillers to pay up. I went to the Court that day with my
Solicitor. He made out the form at the Court and I signed it. I was in
debt to no one other than normal trade terms, but could see I soon
would be if Spillers did not pay up.
6. Next day, a Friday, a man from Spillers and an assistant O.R.
arrived at my farm. I demanded that Spillers boss and the Official
Receiver come to my farm. My Solicitor had gone on holiday. They
disregarded my most strong complaints and the O.R. told me loudly to
"Be quiet, I've heard enough, you're wasting my time. It's my business
now, it's not your business any more. It's for me to say what should
happen." Spillers Boss and the O.R. were on Christian names with each
other.
7. The day following (Saturday) the O.R. returned and removed all my
account books and paper work, much to my immense surprise and
concern!!
8. The following Monday Spillers arrived with a fleet of lorries and
took away all the pigs, the O.R. had sold to Spillers.
9. Before my First Creditors Meeting, Tuesday 11 April 1978, Spillers
made the surprise public announcement of £28 million losses, 23
factory closures, and 8,00 redundant. They were subsequently taken
over by Dalgety`s.

times, the court carried out miscarriages of justice.
