[quote=Studio25;670022]Everybody dies sometime... He allegedly did something wrong, the due process was followed]

I am shocked!!! For all we know he was planning to contest the ticket before his coma, and even if not, the courts had been told he was confused and simply not capable...AND IT WAS JUST A SPEEDING FINE ANYWAY

The 'due process' is clearly inhumane. The conscience of a court official should have interfered with 'due process' when reading the advisory letter from the family, the conscience of the bailiff should have interfered with the due process when he came face to face with a frightened old man....

The reason we are all "over reacting" is because we are shocked and appalled at the due process... We want it changed before we are the frail old pensioners who have lost track of their finances...

I applaud the MPs, the press and the family for highlighting this issue on behalf of all the vulnerable people being hassled by (some) bailiffs unfairly,

Sorry to go on, but I have been left breathless by this insensitivity - what if it was your parent or grandparent? Would that be ok? Even if it was "their time to die" is it the way to die? Would anyone be ok with their loved one dying in that way? Frightened and alone?
