I do not know.
One of the things I seem to notice about "Justice" is that access to the system of Justice always comes down to "paying," for Justice.
There is a large body of the people who cannot afford to pay for access to Justice, but are deemed by Justice to be in an "income bracket" requiring them to pay for access to Justice, regardless of whether in reality they can actually do so.
This seems to be a denial of equality under the law
(are we all entitled to be treated as equal under the law, I am not sure, maybe this is a misconception, but there is a section of the Illinois constitution that seems to guarantee all people equal access to Justice "freely."),
since some are treated one way, and others are treated in the opposite; some who cannot "pay" the price to seek Justice are allowed access, but others who also cannot "pay the price" are denied access.
So if one cannot "pay" for a fair hearing in the halls of Justice, one does not get one?
Nor is one entitled to access to Justice?
So in an adversarial process, the party with the biggest war chest has a decided advantage?
I am not arguing anything.
I was told by an officer of the court that I could not appear in my behalf because I had not "paid" for the privelege of defending myself, and based on that information, I allowed a a default judgement.
OK, live and learn, no problem.
I then documented a question as to equality under the law, and due process being based upon payment, and other issues, to several "officers of the court," and subsequently a judge decided against a motion I made based upon this very document which was presented as evidence by the opposing attorney.
Now my case file in this whole matter has somehow disappeared, re-appeared, and disappeared, and I cannot gain access it, to make certain that this document is in it (since this is what the judge, in large part, based his ruling on), and to bring other inconsistencies to the attention of the "authorities."
