Evicting Liveaboards, What's the Truth?

I believe you are thinking of the comment of the judge re: the Judicial Review hearing?

It applies to all such hearings and judgments of course. In the case of the Judicial Review hearing there was no judgment; what is available is the transcript of proceedings, wherein the judge was making 'on the fly' comments exploring his own assessments as he went along - formulating his opinions in a non-determinative way as the debate progressed. Nothing there could be held as anything more authoritative than that, for all that it is useful insight into the judicial approach.


The Mayers' judgment was a different thing altogether - though of course, quotation should never be dishonestly selective.

I would refer you to para 1.4 of the Mayers judgement.

I would refer you to para 1.4 of the Mayers judgement.

You are right – he did make that comment also. I was thinking of the judge’s response to a CaRT enquiry as to publishing the transcript of the Brown v CaRT JR proceedings.

Do you think anyone has quoted the Mayers’ judgment selectively in a misleading way? It would not surprise me of course, but I am interested to know of any instances.

You were by just drawing attention to two pages out of the judgement.
