I am ringing round town...... am I turning the country upside down again? Looking for legal insurance this time. After some provisional homework, oh it's called after-the-event legal insurance. So, with all the rape by fraud, I've called the firms 'The Judge' and 'Temple' with the private prosecution proposal and folks have said they straightforwardly don't do criminal cases. Among the hideous load of things, it's a possible cost order against me that I'm worried about, and I'm trying to get something that will shield me against that. But I thought it wouldn't necessarily matter to the insurance company that I lose so long as there isn't a cost order, and I thought I'd only get a cost order if I've done something inappropriate in the legal proceedings, which I don't plan to do?? .. These things are too complicated for me.
I will need to ring round more. Dooohhhhh....

Curious about your comment on my blog - I had the risk of costs being awarded against me, thats what the case was about and if I had lost, there was no insurance to cover it, I would have had to pay it. Interested to know more.
ReplyDeleteUrm I've gone from the blog directory A- Z and left comments everywhere so I'm a bit lost as to which comment it was. My case is rape by fraud. It's a technicality that it's rape by fraud under sections 74 and 76 of the Sexual Offences Act (2003) and procuring women by false pretenses under the Sexual Offences Act (1956). Authors of criminal law textbooks like Jonathan Herring and Peter Alldridge explain that it's criminal. But then nothing happens once it's already been done. What was your case? What sort of opponent did you have? So you won it? How is it supposed to make sense that I risk going bankrupt if a cost order of ₤ 160,000 or so is awarded against me, when I am already sexually violated which is why I'm pursuing this? And how many times have I said it should be a public prosecution in the first place... There's the Harvinder Singh Jheeta case from 2006 but I think he got jailed for rape in a public prosecution because his case got mixed up with mainstream criminal offences like procuring money by deception and making death threats. I asked 3 firms and failed to get ATE legal expenses insurance. Sometimes that's because they straightforwardly don't do criminal cases, sometimes that's because it's too difficult to tell whether one party will win or lose. And I still HAVE NOT got a pro bono lawyer, Parliament has been trying for me for 9 months... which means they spent over half a year figuring out the Sexual Offences Act...
