Lavender Hill Magistrates' Court

Corruption of the highest order is taking place at this court. A police officer saying he believes he saw you doing something while driving deems the average person guilty in this court with absolutely zero evidence to back up the claims! No wonder so many police officers are corrupt when magistrates courts (like this one) side with their word vs yours, not to mention I showed clear evidence to the court to refute the allegation! Ill be pushing every avenue possible to make sure those three magistrates at my trial on 10/02/2023 are brought to justice for corruption as they are simply not fit to serve, and are a great danger to innocent members of the public like myself! Appeal sent to the crown court! Utterly disgraceful!

What a joke

Traffic Court - Speeding. All court is unpleasant for defendant so immediately one star. Don't sit in the dreary waiting room. Ask staff to direct you to the public gallery of your court then you can see how they are running things. If you are challenging I would advise spending maybe 200 on a solicitor but not much more. Everyone I saw got fined (four in a row) including myself. They charge about 600 to 1000 a head and if you are at the point of being in court the fine seems unavoidable unless you somehow beat the charge. And they will do there best to avoid that because its does seem from my one morning there to be a bit of a money -spinner. There is a means test form there. But I didnt even look at it because I was in a fighting mood. But my sense is you have to be really financially vulnerable to get a good break. Clerk has the best plastic smile - cordial and "helpful" until you challenge a bit. They really try to coax you to plead guilty - it is creepy! Like I said I saw fines all- round 600-1000 and they were agreeing monthly payments of no less than 70. Its a nest of vipers - get cheap representation if you can find it and think you can beat the case.

Abysmal. Told to be there an hour before, only to be seen 2 hours after my appointment time. Treated like a naughty child by all staff. Not one apology for wasting my day due to a police error that I needed to rectify. They continued the error with my name while I was there. Its not difficult!! And now I have to check if my credit rating is affected, they wont fix it for me even though it was a police error. Judges wouldnt even look at me while I was speaking. Ridiculous, subhuman experience. Do better, its 2022, not 1959.
