Legal watchdog may investigate Christian group over Alfie Evans case
Guardian ^ | May 2 | Josh Halliday

Posted on 05/02/2018 8:28:47 AM PDT by CondorFlight

The Christian campaign group that acted for the family of Alfie Evans could face an investigation by the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA), the Guardian has learned.

----

The high court judge Mr Justice Hayden was particularly critical of the role of Pavel Stroilov, a Russian-born law student who appeared to have taken the lead in representing Alfie’s parents for the Christian Legal Centre (CLC).

The judge described Stroilov, who formerly worked for the Ukip leader, Gerard Batten, as a “fanatical and deluded young man” whose legal advice was “inconsistent with the real interests of the parents’ case”.

More on Justice Hayden from an earlier hearing:

“But Mr Justice Hayden cut down Paul Diamond, representing the parents, as he began the family’s appeal hearing.

Mr Diamond said: “This really is an appeal, in our submission for common humanity and common sense…”

The judge interjected: “I don’t think it’s helpful to use emotive terms. As a barrister confine yourself to the law.”

Mr Diamond gave a witness statement from Mr Evans, taken on Tuesday, to the court suggesting his son’s condition is “significantly better” than had been previously believed.

Mr Diamond said the child had been breathing unaided for 19 hours.

He continued: “We do have a human being…”

Again the judge cut across him: “I don’t need to be reminded we have a human being. You do not have the moral high ground in this court. It is treacherous terrain.”

Wow. Not only did the state kill a child, they are now going after those who would defend life.
The devil has made a lot of progress in England.

I wonder what they’d do for a Mohammedan in a similar plight.

They want to blame it on Russia, which seems to be the establishment’s universal “bad guy”

Solicitors Regulation Authority: Now that the kid is dead we need to make examples of everyone who challenged government authority. Hey, can we charge the brat’s parents with anything?

Actually, my question is in response to the title of the thread.

Keep this stuff in mind whenever a Brit expresses distaste over 2A.

They humiliate the parents, they kill the child, and now they're going to unleash asymmetrical lawfare on the victims' legal advisors?

I understand the parents' right to seek the best options they could find outside of the NHS system (e.g. home hospice care, Gesu Bambino hospital) was supported by the head of the Italian parliament, the head of the EU Parliament Antonio Tajiani, and Pope Francis.

Will they launch a criminal investigation on them all?

They think they are smearing the doomed family's advocates, but actually their are dumping their own reputations in the sewer.

The world is becoming sick of the smell of the British health system.
