There was nothing illegal about their request. They shouldn't have done it, but they didn't break any laws in doing so.

- qtplatypus 6y agoMy understanding is that expate communication with the judge or a judges staff in a court case is not legal (unless allowed under very specific situations).
- foolmeonce 6y agoIt not being illegal is not a good thing. Apparently evidence tampering is cool in the UK?
- matthewheath 6y agoI never said it was a good thing — of course evidence tampering is utterly unacceptable. The systems here simply hew closely to expected standards of behaviour from institutions, and in any event there are a range of mechanisms to address the behaviour without needing to criminalise it.
