  Re. “The Hon.” Mr Justice Jay:

  In May 2019, the Court of Appeal adopted his own terminology, describing one of Jay’s own judgments as being hardly “pellucid”. As well as levelling this mocking criticism at his legal writing, the Court of Appeal allowed the appeal on every ground raised, including the ground that Jay had been so overbearing, rude, and bullying to the claimant (whose first language was not English but Polish, and who was acting without legal help), that the trial had been unfair. In June 2020, the UK Supreme Court went further and found that Jay had “harassed and intimidated [the claimant] in ways which surely would never have occurred if the claimant had been represented”.

  He seems like an amiable fellow. It would certainly be a condign punishment if he were the first high court judge in living memory to be removed by parliament.

  The entire system is corrupt. There is no law only a facade.
