I'd far rather see him get
convicted for dereliction of duty in failing to protect the residents of
his city: he's actually guilty of that.

This should be an easy political win for him, if he were a decent
politician. He should give a decent account of the Kafka-esque nightmare single justice procedure is so Parliament repeals it. He should go
through the procedure like a peasant and prove to everyone his
sympathies with those whose due process has been denied, and he should
keep a detailedlog of time and expense.
Similar crap can happen in the United States as civil matters, but at
least there are court procedures to follow on notice. Due process has
more limited applicability in civil procedure than criminal, what with
civil asset forfeiture and qualified immunity and takings used for non- public purposes. Forcing someone into court with no way to recover legal
fees isn't a deprivation of property.
Of course due process can be violated in criminal procedures but single justice procedure clearly invites abuse.

It's up to the voters to throw the bastards out.

They have tried.... Reform already has a strong candidate, although it
is three years until the next mayoral election for London.

That's not a fair comment. The prosecution has no burden to meet probable cause, so that distinguishes single justice procedure from an American criminal trial with expedited procedures because it's a misdemeanor
charge.

You have taken my remark as a shrug and I can see why you did. I did NOT >mean to sound indifferent to what you said. The system should be better
and is not satisfactory the way it stands.
I just went a little beyond that by observing that it's really hard to
build a perfect system. People really ARE skilful at finding loopholes
no matter how much effort is made with wording. It's because words >themselves are slippery and rarely express our intent as clearly as we >think. . . .

You are correct that perfection is not achievable. That's why we have
civil rights, in this case, the right to due process.
Government has no need to try to achieve perfection. Government has
police power and tax power, and isn't overly burdened by a fundamental
need to serve, let alone ethics. Government's excuse for the need for
great power is necessity, convenience, and flexibility. But trust us.
We'll exercise discretion, but they rarely do.
What are a citizen's right to due process in the UK (outside Scotland)?
I haven't a clue.
