    Could you PM me the name of the lawyer who got him jailed? Maybe they could help my sis?

      My friend has a Swiss passport. Will they confiscate his if he happens to be in this situation?

        There is a lot of talk about law and lawyers and jail and punishments and the CSA here, I for one, amd struggling to see any justice.
        There seems to be horror stories on both sides, when the emotions start to run high, justice hides under a rock.

          There's a definite problem here, and thanks to Peoplesoft Bloke for giving us the other side of the story.

          The trouble with this new move is that they are letting "key workers" decide on your fate. I once lived next to a couple of these people and they were quite frankly from a different planet.

            There was a bloke in Oz who threw his kid off a bridge this morning. The baby died. Going through this stuff can unhinge anyone.

            Take your point about the Key Workers. I wonder what BP's take on the family courts is, and the secrecy surrounding them
