THE AUTHOR
Mike
was a magistrate for sixteen years and a chairman of the Bench for most of that
time. He sat on a wide and diverse range of cases in the adult courts.
When
not in court he was an enforcement officer managing a team of government
inspectors. During this time he gained experience in both investigations
and court activities. He also worked with the police on investigations and
prosecutions for manslaughter. Using this experience, he wrote a
professional book, Corporate Manslaughter and Corporate Homicide – A
Managers Guide to Legal Compliance.
He has for 6 years acted as an expert witness to the courts.
This
combination has placed him on both sides of the adversarial arena and in the
middle making judicial decisions. Although he no longer sits on the Bench,
he is on the supplemental list retaining the JP title.
Mike
served in the military and also worked in the dangerous world of oil and gas
diving, both in the UK and various parts of the world. His
interests outside of court and work activities include researching, with
his wife, the life of Commander ‘Buster’ Crabb, a frogman who ‘disappeared’ in
mysterious circumstances. They have produced two books on the subject: Frogman
Spy and the recently
published, The Crabb Enigma.
He has a keen interest in elephant conservation.
