FOI - Ministry of Justice Status

[Farmer]

I have just made the following request:

http://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/ministry_of_justice_status

The MINISTRY OF JUSTICE is a registered business with the registration number UC6214811, with the address of 102 Petty France, London, SW1H 9AJ.

My questions are as follow:

1. Is the MINISTRY OF JUSTICE as described above a public or private company?

2. Is the MINISTRY OF JUSTICE as described above a for-profit business?

3. If not, what is the purpose of being a company rather than a natural ministry of Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth’s Government?

4. Does the company registered as the MINISTRY OF JUSTICE as described above oversee and regulate English and Welsh Magistrate Courts?

5. If so, are English and Welsh Magistrate Courts wholly owned by the company registered as the MINISTRY OF JUSTICE as described above?

6. If not, are English and Welsh Magistrate Courts registered companies in their own right?

7. Who are the shareholders of the company registered as the MINISTRY OF JUSTICE as described above?

8. What share structure does the company registered as the MINISTRY OF JUSTICE as described above have?

9. Which Act of Parliament allowed the formation of the MINISTRY OF JUSTICE company as described above?

10. What jurisdiction does the company called MINISTRY OF JUSTICE as described above have over the people of England and Wales?

11. Can a company such as the MINISTRY OF JUSTICE as described above have jurisdiction over English and Welsh Freemen? If so, which natural law allows this?

12. Are Acts of Parliament (Statutes) that apply to people in England and Wales, Admiralty Law, or based on international treaty covering international commercial activity on the high seas?

13. Are England or Wales registered companies for the purposes of the MINISTRY OF JUSTICE as described and, or, Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth’s Government?

UPDATE:

Their reply:

Dear Mr Smith

Thank you for your email, dated 11th September (below).

The registration number quoted in your email does not correspond to any
company registered with Companies House. Companies House do not use a
"UC" prefix with any of their registration numbers.

The Ministry of Justice (MoJ) is a Government Department and is not
registered as a business. The MoJ's latest audited resource accounts
(for the year to 31 March 2009) can be found here:

http://www.justice.gov.uk/publications/resource-accounts-2008-09.htm

In the meantime, I would be most grateful if you would kindly forward on
any evidence you have gathered that a business with the registration
number "UC6214811" has been registered under the name "Ministry of
Justice", so that the Department may investigate further.

Kind regards

Paul

My reply:

Dear Paul,

Thank you for your reply.

To answer your request, the listing for the registration number "UC6214811" can be found at the following web site: http://www.snoop4companies.co.uk. It is possible to search by number or name.

I'm sure you will take this matter seriously and await your reply.

Finally, I still await a reply to question 12:

12. Are Acts of Parliament (Statutes) that apply to people in England and Wales, Admiralty Law, or based on international treaty covering international commercial activity on the high seas?

Yours sincerely,

John

Thanks Mark, that is interesting. I wonder if they being companies will end up being debunked as well.

[huntingross]

It's a strong possibility.....how embarassing would that be.
