Principle: Mrs. Justice Smith: High Court, Leeds 22nd May 1996 :  
"It must never be asserted that any of us (judiciary) have indulged in any kind of
                 protection of a colleague, however eminent they may be."
 
...........................................  ..........................................................

      Step down District Judge D.J.R. Weston
                                             for
Obstructing justice by unlawfully striking out a claim against Circuit Judge Alan Simpson alleging conspiracy to pervert the course of justice by tampering with evidence given by police witnesses out of a criminal trial in Hull, UK.

            Blatant disregard of the Rule of the Supreme Court Order 18 rule 19/11 para, (i)

Evidence:
Note of Judgement of District Judge D. J. R. Weston.

 EXTRACT:-
 [Quote]
 I submit no grounds, pleading given realistic prospect of success. Note 18/19/11 paragraph (i) - no chance of establishing conspiracy to falsify transcript.
 [Unquote]

 D/Judge Weston struck out the claim against a fellow judge by relying upon the RSC 18/19/11  (i), which order expressly forbids striking out a claim upon the mere fact that the case is weak and therefore may be unsustainable..

 Principles: RSC 18/19/11 para (i)
 So long as the statement of claim or the particulars (Davey v Bentink [1893] 1 Q.B. 185) disclose some cause of action, or raise some question  fit to be decided by a judge or a jury, the mere fact that the case is  weak, and not likely to succeed is no ground for striking it out. [END]

 There is no room for doubt that the District Judge was wrong in law, neither can there be any doubt that he he knew of and had read RSC 18/19/11 (i): the order upon which he relied to strike out the claim.

District Judge Weston did seek to and did unlawfully dispose of the claim against a colleague as disclosing no reasonable cause of action relying upon RSC Order 18/19/11 (i).
