Part of the glossary
Glossary of terms. Abduction................ A syllogism, of which the major premiss is certain, and the minor only probable, so that the conclusion has only the probability of the minor; apagoge. Acausal.................... not causal; not causally related. Actus reus................ is the act which, in combination with a certain mental state, such as intent or recklessness, constitutes a crime. Analytic.................... (of a statement etc.) such that its denial is self-contradictory; true by definition Apagoge................... A demonstration which does not prove a thing directly, but shows the absurdity or impossibility of denying it; a reductio ad absurdum. Apodeictic................. problematic – assertoric. distinction among the modalities of propositions. A problematic proposition states what is possible; an assertoric proposition states what is actual; and an apodeictic proposition states what is necessary. For example: "A novel could be larger than a dictionary." is problematic. "Atlanta is larger than Knoxville." is assertoric. "142 is larger than 37." is apodeictic. Of clear demonstration; established on incontrovertible evidence. (By Kant applied to a proposition enouncing a necessary and hence absolute truth.) A posteriori............. (of concepts, knowledge, etc.) logically dependent on experience; not a maxim. A priori.................... (of concepts, knowledge, etc.) logically independent of experience; not derived from experience. Averment................. The action of positively declaring as true; assertion, affirmation. OED 3. |

From page 176, a short synopsis. This is an extract that is referred to in a thread at Swab on this link. DVLA Money Spinner http://www.swarb.co.uk/phpbb/viewtopic.php?t=5639&sid=6d07e5d2c6ad23f76597f3e36ce5fda1 4 - An example all too delirious for some, who prefer to look aslant. This example case occupies only about 3 percent of the book to be released here. This I have seen, and recorded, and will place on the web most of the 700 pages soon, how errant peccant authority tried this all on; breached about 17 statutes in the process, and made outrageous presumptions; based on their omniscience, and the respondent's 'deemed' ignorance, that were fully rebutted beyond any reasonable doubt, to a level that is shockingly beyond a shadow of doubt. I trust the difference is clear? But of course, the claimant is misguided, The claimant has authorities' own declarations, self contradictions and false representations on their own papers, and still perhaps may be excused for genuinely believing what is KNOWN for certain, and they believe they can force down the claiamnt's throat in a flurry of cognitive abuses. Funny, the Judge in that hearing asked the claimant “did you write all this?”, “Yes”, How does an ordinary person cope with such a problem?”, “They don't, they simply go under.” It's not for your consumption, as you are 'too tired and lack the energy' to look at the face of truth; while suggesting it's mendacity, and describing its features in any terms like 'this stuff', that 'is genuinely believed no doubt.' So; this is all digression, with apologies for taking the space, if it's too much I can remove it, and place it on another site with simply a LINK that will save all that electronic space that is in such short supply. It's for the readers who do have the time, inclination, desire and innocence to look into this errant peccant behaviour. Here is a small sample take from letterheads of the said authority to do precisely what the DVLA is pursuing in the course of conduct that has unambiguous context showing reserve of the use of discretion, while there is a 'fine' to win in the debate on superiority of knowledge against ignorance, rather than equity and fairness in justice; in a sense that may be , marked down as 'obs.' in the OED soon. Re-lying on the maxim, 'absence of evidence is not evidence of absence' is among the litany of similar palliations of errant conduct that tries to cover omissions as simple negligence while all the while focussed on the revenue, and not the justice of it. This is a story based on fact, not 'genuine belief', and there are 'authority letterheads' to prove it. For those who doubt, then can send me a PM, and I will provide a link to the short critical analysis, backed with the 5-6 original letterheads; from the aforesaid omniscient 'authority', showing the first insight to 4 of at least 20 self contradictions that got their legal team all running for the cover of vicarious ir-responsibility. All a bit too poetic for some, who rely on connotations to have their effects, and bury the strict denotations in a mist of association complexes, hoping that one image will misdirect. Here is the easy read of the first part of bundle one 334 pages, that took the court six weeks to read before issuing the claim. ALL PRIMARILY SELF CONTRADICTIONS. 1.Early Summer 2006, authority was notified of a draft claim prepared showing 4 breaches of statute. After several more exchanges containing false representations; the authority was warned clearly and foreseeably they had no understanding of; a)the function of culpability in anticipation and expectation, AND b)had no idea how unambiguous contextual inferencing worked at all. With this warning, coupled with a comment that TRUTH comes out instantly without deliberation, they proceeded to deliberate 27 days before crafting the following reply containing FOUR further false representations, all within the meaning of; at that time in draft, the Fraud Act October 2006. They went on to satisfy that act into January 2007. 2.Letter. Exhibit 1 “We have reviewed the Council's records in light of your assertion and record that at no stage have we received any representations from you." First comment; this ( no stage any ) contradicts the existence of the letter they are replying to, why are they even writing to the respondent? You don't even need an exhibit for this 'averment' and false representation. But if you do need exhibits then here is ONE of FIVE EARLIER letters among some twenty emails; all being “nothing to do with representations at any time”. Exhibit 1 contradicts Exhibit 2 from the SAME author, locum solicitor, two months earlier, stating they are “preparing a substantive response” ( to representations, what else? ) 3.Hence Exhibit 1 contradicts Exhibit 3 , from the SAME borough; “However despite your stated intention, no formal representations have been made.” Next comment; In their omniscience they KNOW what the respondent did, not what they received and signed for. They were shown the SIGNED DATED STAMPED RECEIPT / DECEIT on THEIR LETTERHEAD, describing the reading of a FORMAL appeal in writing on their own appeal form. ( This respondent was certain for many years, of what the originator of this thread only suspected; in misplaced trust, in his circumspection. ) 4.Exhibit 1 contradicts Exhibit 4 from the Traffic enforcement centre, “an Order for Recovery, which will be issued very shortly” Next comment; In their omniscience they KNOW they haven't registered the debt and each week the respondent was receiving emails from TEC, Exhibit 4, saying “Hello the debt had not been registered”, with all the potential of a second time around swing at delinquency in derogation of duty in failure to send APPEALS in SCHEDULE 6, and STAT DECS in CPR 75.3. Putting all this negligence at the door of the post services. A later FOI question was answered that NO appeal or Notice of Rejection was every sent out. Amused ? When three days later they 'ACCEPTED' the irrefutable; after trying desperately to force rebuttable presumption down the claimant's throat for daring to pay and ask in advance for a hearing, that the respondent was RIGHT; they then carefully overlooked the fact of yet another statutory breach that, in their next letter stating; 1.“It is now accepted that you did in fact deliver formal representations to Parking Solutions, together with the signed declaration on the reserve Notice to Owner on 21 July. Meant the former averments of 'genuine beliefs no doubt' had to be thrown overboard in the rush for safety; a ) “We note your assertion that the council is in breach of the Road Traffic Act 1991 ("the Act") in that you have been served with a Charge Certificate in relation the above Penalty Charge Notice without first being served with a Notice of Rejection of Representations, Statutory Application and Appeal Form. b) The Council will of course be defending its position that it has acted in accordance with the Act. They had now ADMITTED that THEY HAD BREACHED while threatening they were preparing to “of course be defending its position”. And continued into February 2007 to hold on to enforcement 'that was NOT AT THIS TIME, until they pleaded would the respondent please give up his action as they had cancelled their petty PCN, after the respondent had proffered payment in FULL of £100, way back in May 2006, returning it with accompanying descriptions of procedure. They didn't want this respondent to have a fair and public hearing, under protocol 5 article 6, and denied him MAGNA CARTA 39-40 where 'to NO MAN will we deny or delay JUSTICE' and forget about three stone weight loss for a person registered with them as disabled, under the disability Act 2005? That was all part of the fun in relying on asymmetry of knowledge to extract and subtract illegally! Now please lets all be reasonable, this is just a game. PATAS call it the 'SCHEME' and the DVLA is the same, but somehow they haven't got rid of the Bill of Rights ......... YET? All very amusing I guess for the schadenfreud specialists in winning without proof while being peccant without truth. But this kind of conduct can KILL people who are disabled. |
