THE STEALING OF EMILY - Closed Material Procedures ('secret courts').

by Martin Newbold

This book builds on the two previous books in the series The Stealing of concerning the topic of "Secret Courts" or Closed Material Procedures ("CMP") in which children are compromised by and supported by all government agencies. The Justice and Security Act was given parliamentary approval on 25 April 2023. One of the main justifications for expanding so-called secret courts was to prevent intelligence provided by US sources from being exposed in British courts. The legal mechanism known as closed material procedures ("CMP"). Secret intelligence can be used by the government but will only be seen by the judge and security-cleared "special advocates". What is a Special Advocate? It is someone who represents the interest of an individual claimant who cannot reveal precise details of the evidence or case and may only provide a loose summary. Claimants may not then, be aware of all the allegations made against them. This results in parties no longer being on an equal footing, tilting the advantage in the government's favour. It has been thought this had been happening in the background for many years with certain individuals discussing the fate of children behind closed doors. The use of CMP is inherently unfair and is fundamentally inconsistent with regard to the principles of laws with the common law tradition of civil justice where proceedings are open, equal and adversarial. Family Law is not transparent, open to abuse and close, making it a prime target for CPM. The world is a changing place with data now cloud-based your children's data may be online on these government systems even before they start their life. This book looks at the evolving AI and the concepts of data mining issuing a
