Dear Editor,
Despite all the objections and legal opinions shared with the Mayor & City Council, they marched to folly yesterday in the Magistrate’s Court. After a demand was made on my client to pay $25,000 by an agent for the M&CC for a goods container which was placed adjacent to his business premises, I was instructed by my client to write to the Town Clerk. I took that opportunity to warn him not to pursue this course of direction as it was unlawful. Well, to my surprise, mere days later, my client was served with a summons for him to be charged before the Magistrate’s Court. After the first two cases were called, one of which was against my client, and hearing the points in limine raised by myself and Sase Gunraj appearing for the other defendant, the prosecutor appearing for the M&CC had no choice but to put its tail between its legs and not only withdraw the matters against my client and the previous defendant but all the matters against all the defendants without the charge even being read to them. The prosecutor did however make a promise to “come back”. This is the type of matter which attorneys-at-law would do for fun to teach arrogant authorities a lesson. Since the M&CC has promised to “come back”, so I make my promise to return every single time and have every single charge of this nature dismissed. The next time I shall be asking for costs.
Yours faithfully,
Charles S Ramson, MP
Attorney-at-Law
