Nunzio's Backyard and Intervention Orders.

It had been a Typical Day in Courtroom 8, The Usual Consent with Admission Cases were steam Rolled through the Court, but Things were about to change. There was a Neighborhood Dispute which Rapidly turned into an Episode of Burke's Backyard and Fawlty Towers.

The Applicant couldn't Speak English and Needed an Interpreter, a dispute had occurred over the Pruning of The Next door Neighbour's Trees.



Photo's were passed between The Magistrate and The Defendant with His Honour describing how he thought the trees Needed to Be Pruned.

The applicant took the Witness Stand in Courtroom 8 and despite The applicant's lack of English, he told the Magistrate that the Defendant had told him to Get Fucked. At one Point the Magistrate made it very clear that he didn't want the Interpreter and The applicant discussing anything without tranlating it into English for the Magistrate. It reminded me of an Episode of Fawlty Towers, with the assembled people being very amused with the Court Proceedings.

After The Lunch Break the Case Continued with More Photo's of The Trees being passed Between The bench and The Bar Table, The Defendant asked the Magistrate whether he would be happy for him to get an Aboreist  in to Check the Trees.

The Magistrate frustratingly replied, I don't care how you do it, But I Take Breeches Of Undertakings Seriously, if you Don't Get The Trees Pruned in the Next 3 Weeks, then The Intervention Orders will be Reinstated and The Police could Then Become Involved. The case had taken an Hour of the Court's Time!!!.
