Thomas Carlin - Irish Freeman Cop

[Burnaby49]

Actually make that "jailed for contempt" Irish Freeman cop.

What was done to him was criminal. He was only pursuing his duties as a member of the Northern Irish constabulary to the best of his abilities by arresting a wrongdoer. The judge who had decided against him in a foreclosure matter.

Of course the corrupt judiciary banded together to crush him for doing what was plainly his obligation as a peace officer;

On 12 January, the respondent attempted to arrest Lord Justice Gillen for misconduct in public office. The Lord Chief Justice said there was no evidence that an offence had been committed by the judge, nor any reasonable grounds for suspicion about the commission of an offence. He said the respondent had no lawful power of arrest and his purported use of the powers of a Constable was an abuse.

So much for British justice when a man can't even arrest a judge for not allowing him to dismiss a legal action against him.

He went down with all flags flying!

Two days later he was back (before a different judge) to discuss possible contempt charges for this behavior. This time in uniform, Constable Carlin declined to apologize for his conduct, saying that he could not do so because “I believe for me to apologize to the court would be abandoning my defense.” This “defense” appears to be some version of the typical sovereign-citizen argument that the court does not have jurisdiction over him or her for various stupid reasons, e.g., the flag is decorated in a certain way, the court misspelled his or her name, Ohio never actually became a U.S. state, or whatever. And it is typical sovereign-citizen logic to think that an apology might itself have some legal effect in terms of court jurisdiction. It can sometimes help persuade a judge that you should not be punished, so in that sense it kind of does. But no apology was forthcoming.

Of course, Carlin didn’t think he had done anything to apologize for. “I acted in my capacity as a police officer,” he insisted. “I believed a crime had been committed [that was] outrageous in nature”—that is, ruling against him—and was simply trying to do his duty when court staff obstructed him. This did not persuade the judge, needless to say. Carlin was convicted of contempt in February.

But it's not over yet! He's appealing to the Supreme Court;

I'm presuming he's suspended and will now lose his job, unbelievable how these people always manage to make things 100% worse for themselves !

[notorial dissent]

Any bets on just how much worse he will make it for himself? The freeman usual is to go for at least 200% of worst before they are done. Isn't there some intermediate court he can make a fool of himself in before he gets to the Supreme Court?

It is a shame really

As Carlin was at one time being heavily promoted by the Sov Cit crowd, due to an earlier judgement which they felt meant he had won !1!!!!! and beaten those nasty banksters

It's obvious then isn't it? TPTB are taking him down in a cowardly fashion as they're afraid his truths will get out.

[AndyPandy]

Has anyone watched this, apparently, not only lost his home but his job as well, another stunning success !

Imagine that, a cop who tries to arrest a judge and he gets fired, what is the world coming to??

Full judgement - http://preview.tinyurl.com/gt3rxss

[25] We have already referred to aspects of self-importance and attention seeking in his perception of the litigation before Gillen LJ. That was also apparent from this presentation in court. He addressed his remarks both to the court and to the public audience. As previously indicated at one stage he called upon those in the audience who considered that he was not getting a fair trial to stand up. His supporters did so. Conduct of that sort reinforces the view that it was his intention to abuse the subject proceedings with a view to gaining publicity. How he believed that would assist him it is difficult to know but it is clear that throughout this process he has revelled in being in the spotlight. It also appears that he has been encouraged by others who have stayed in the background but used his foolish vanity for their own ends.

[mufc1959]

[18] At that point the respondent asserted that he was not getting a fair trial. He then turned to the body of the court and said "If anyone believes I'm not getting a fair trial please stand up". At that point approximately 7 people including those who had been providing notes to the respondent stood up and were then removed from the court.

Here one of the guinea-pigs cheered, and was immediately suppressed by the officers of the court. (As that is rather a hard word, I will just explain to you how it was done. They had a large canvas bag, which tied up at the mouth with strings: into this they slipped the guinea-pig, head first, and then sat upon it.)

`I'm glad I've seen that done,' thought Alice. `I've so often read in the newspapers, at the end of trials, "There was some attempts at applause, which was immediately suppressed by the officers of the court," and I never understood what it meant till now.'

One novel aspect of the case:

[34] [Mr Carlin's] final submissions before me also refer to answers provided to a series of questions put by him to ChatGPT, criticising counsel, solicitors, and judges, and he prays in aid these answers in support of his case since they have been provided by artificial intelligence which “does not have personal opinions, beliefs or feelings.” Sadly, ChatGPT seemed unable to recognise or correct the misuse by Mr Carlin in one of his questions of the phrase “cast dispersions” rather than “cast aspersions.”

Lord help us when the freemen are letting ChatGPT do all the heavy lifting for them.

https://www.bailii.org/nie/cases/NIHC/Ch/2023/5.html

[105] Standing back and looking at these applications in the round, including the issue of the Writ proceedings, I am satisfied that they are just another attempt by the defendants, particularly Mr Carlin, to postpone the day of reckoning. As I recorded above, no moneys have been paid on foot of the mortgage since 2013, now almost 10 years ago. The plaintiff is entitled to realise its security.

I'm astonished he's managed to drag this out for 10yrs. All the equity in the mortgaged property must be gone now - the unpaid loan plus the compounded interest, and Santander must've spent over £100k on lawyers which they'll never recover. I wonder if Carlin thinks they might give up if he can keep draining their coffers like this.

Looks like the Carlin saga is drawing to a close.

Conclusions
[9]
The conclusions of this court are made in the context of the immediately
preceding paragraph. They are as follows:

(i) There is either no evidence whatsoever or no credible evidence of any of the
numerous factual matters raised in the Notice of Appeal. This applies
particularly, but not exhaustively, to the multiple bare assertions relating to the
fairness of the proceedings at first instance.

(ii) While encompassed in our first conclusion, in view of the seriousness of the
allegations, it is appropriate to add that there is no evidence whatsoever of the
plaintiffs’ allegations of unprofessional conduct, fraud or criminal conduct on
the part of any of the respondents.

(iii) There is no evidence whatsoever supporting the appellant’s allegations of
discriminatory treatment of him.

(iv) There is no evidence whatsoever of abusive or other misconduct on the part of
“officers of the court.”

(v) There is no evidence whatsoever of any “abuse of processes” on the part of any
of the respondents.

(vi) There is no evidence whatsoever of “apparent bias” on the part of either the
trial judge or any of the other judges or the Chancery Masters previously
involved in the litigation history.

(vii) As regards the judgment under appeal, there is no discernible error of law; the
judge’s findings, conclusions and orders are adequately reasoned; and there is
no identifiable failure to deal with any material issue. Furthermore, the
judgment is in no way vitiated by reference to the equitable doctrine of laches.
In a sentence, there is no shred of merit in this appeal.

He's not a happy bunny.

The Court of Appeal found against me on 24th April 2024 .
As expected. It stank of unfairness and predetermination in ALL dealings since 2nd Feb 2024. I have now officially exhausted the civil legal process in Northern Ireland to try and save my home.

The measly 60 minutes granted to me for a hearing that was initially set for 1 day but was reduced to one hour after I requested it be extended to 2 days, was adjourned at the end for 20 minutes, before the collaborators delivering their biased and predetermined judgment.

The shocker for me was the audacity and sheer effrontery of Lord Justice McCloskey and Mr Justice Humphreys to continue to hold the appeal despite my strong well founded objections. They simply disregarded the fact that there was and still is a live complaint before the lady chief justice about their bias and discriminatory treatment of me in all previous hearings to date. The Lady Chief Justice still hasn’t responded to my complaint or even acknowledged it. It seems the levels they stoop to holds no bounds.

They doubled down when I asked for time to do the extra applications I needed. Once I paid the £10k in Feb they simply set the appeal up to give me the least time and least evidence. I was put in a “legal straitjacket” as one advisor stated.
After they handed down the judgement, I raised the issue of the Court granting a Stay to enable me to appeal to the Supreme Court without the ongoing threat of eviction and they directed that I had to have an application before the court by 4 p.m. on Friday 26th April regarding keeping a ‘stay of execution’ in place to block the bailiffs and facilitate an appeal to the supreme Court. The Justices stated there would be no need for any hearing and they’d just decide all by themselves. It was an utter disgrace.

I submitted it by the deadline and then served stamped copies on all parties. Santander’s legal team responded on Monday 29th April stating a few things including that that they objected to me having any further level of appeal. I then sent a responding email to the Court of Appeal and Santander stating that I had paid a £165 fee for a hearing and wanted one as I hadn’t been given the opportunity to respond to Santanders response. I stated that it was a breach of my article six ECHR right to a fair trial and insisted that I be given an opportunity to orally argue the points in a hearing about the Stay.

Just as I have become accustomed to in recent months since reaching this level of Court, neither the Court of Appeal or Santander have had the decency or respect to bother their backsides either acknowledging my email or responding to it.

I asked for 3 things:
1. The “Leave” of the Court to appeal to the Supreme Court.
2. A stay of execution to give me space to submit my appeal.
3. To challenge the exorbitant costs awarded to the crooks at A&L Goodbody.

Apparently acknowledging receipt of emails or simply responding to the likes of me is beneath these esteemed individuals

I anticipate as much resistance as the Court of Appeal and Santander can collectively throw at me moving forward. Time wasting – you name it.

I am currently working on this application to appeal to the Supreme Court which has a very limited time and is a large and complex amount of work for any lay litigant. I am fully focused on that right now, hence my regretful lack of updates.

In my experienced opinion – the civil justice system in Northern Ireland is irreparably broken. It is simply not fit for purpose. A home stealing business.

Maybe getting higher courts from outside this jurisdiction involved will help shed some light on the crookedness and blatant unfairness experienced by so many self represented litigants in Belfast High court.

And maybe it won’t .
Proceed though we will.
Many thanks for your support.”

Utterly scandalous that Carlin has got away with this nonsense for so long. When Santander finally send the bailiffs in, I fully expect him to whip up a mob to resist this.
