Apparently, Mohammed Fayed is unhappy with the opening statement of the coroner, Lord Justice Scott Baker, in the Diana and Dodi inquest, which he thinks could give “an appearance of bias”.
How astonishing!
Fayed has of course already successfully judicially reviewed one of the coroner’s predecessors, relying partly on allegations that there she gave an appearance of bias. Now he’s got the jury he wanted. Will he get the verdict he also wants, of unlawful http://www.nflauthenticjersey.com/ killing? I dare say we’ll know one day. Today his claim against France in the European Court of Human Rights was ruled inadmissible: but only after he’d gone to the Paris Cour d’Appel and the Cour de Cassation.
How Many MORE inquests/inquiries/investigations are to be endured before it is accepted that what happened in Paris that night was an unfortunate and tragic accident?!?!
This is all ten years too late if you ask me…..
I remember Lord Justice Scott Baker being the Chairman of one of my Parole Board hearings. Interestingly, he was keen to know all about the Bubbles massage parlour in Derby. The services offered and prices charged. It is a pity that he did not pay more attention to the case in hand, because I had to wait a further 2 years to my release. I suspect he got his quite a bit sooner…
I’ve no idea, Minxy! I think probably the answer is that it never will be accepted, regardless of the outcome of this inquest or any subsequent review. I think we’re in a Bloody Sunday inquiry situation here, where there can be no closure. A pity that’s because of one rich man rather than (whatever you think about the different sides of the troubles in Northern Ireland) genuinely deep community divisions.
