Toe Tale

Pensioner, 82, convicted of not paying car tax while in hospital having toe amputated

An 82-year-old pensioner has been convicted of not paying car tax while he was in hospital having a toe amputated.

The OAP, who is in assisted living in Liverpool, was pursued through the criminal courts by the DVLA when the bill went unpaid last December.

When prosecuted in the scandal-hit Single Justice Procedure, a secretive fast-track court system, the octogenarian wrote in to explain his medical woes – even including a copy of a hospital treatment record.

But it was not enough to avoid a criminal conviction for keeping an unlicensed vehicle.

These stories are already mounting up, but the problem could have been foreseen when the Single Justice Procedure was devised. Easily foreseen at that, because the media thrive on the tales of woe which were bound to occur.

The Ministry of Justice is considering reform, having promised last November a “fair and effective” system while hinting at “fundamental reform”. But eight months later, no significant changes have being made.

There is an impressive ability to make things worse too, because endless discussions and delays about reform just add another dimension to every story.

Not that it’s likely to make much difference, there is indifference to consequences in there too – part of a wider trend.
